Ultra-processed foods are energy-dense and ready-to-eat food items including things like processed breakfast meats, packaged snacks, and ice cream as well as artificially sweetened drinks.
The good news: it is using data from the Nurses Study. That’s hard data to beat because it’s got a great collection method going back years and years.
Bad news: it’s only covering four years.
Bad news: it defines ultra processed foods as, among other things. having lots of calories. But spends a whole lot of time blaming drinks with artificial sweeteners. The one thing artificial sweeteners aren’t is calorie dense.
Either way it will give us something to argue about for a few years.

Depends if HFCS counts as “artificial,” I suppose.
I have personally noticed that my hunger is worse when drinking sugar-free soda.
quitting it made sticking to a calorie deficit easier.
after I had these results I googled about it and apparently it’s known possible side-effect for women and overweight people
so if anything the sugar free stuff is at least not all that no-brainer choice people make it out to be
