Abstract in brief

  • The study shows that eating ultraprocessed foods leads to increased body weight, worse cholesterol ratios, and hormonal changes that can impair reproductive health, regardless of how many calories are consumed.
  • Certain pollutants like lithium and specific phthalate metabolites are higher after eating ultraprocessed foods, which might contribute to negative health effects.
  • The research suggests that ultraprocessed foods are harmful to both metabolic and reproductive health even if caloric intake is controlled, highlighting the importance of diet quality over just calorie count.]
