Yes, eating too much of the wrong foods (ultra-processed foods) is doubly bad... But it's the wrong foods that are CAUSING you to overeat, and therein lies the problem for many people.
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
that means obesity has to be mostly on the energy intake side that's where the big lever is that's where you get all your your you know that's where all the leverage is and um you know what is about the intake side well i you know for me i think it's ultra processed foods
so this idea of the intake side being the main contributor to obesity really starts to point i think an important finger at food quality
if i had to pick the one biggest driver i would have to pin it on ultra processed foods
