Resumen

El texto original del estudio, en el idioma en que se publicó.

Background

Ultraprocessed food (UPF) intake is associated with increased type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk. No controlled feeding trial has investigated UPF exposure and T2D risk or performed chemical analysis of UPF study diets.

Objectives

To design and chemically validate nutritionally matched high- and non-UPF diets and to examine the effects of a 6-wk high-UPF diet on T2D risk in midlife adults.

Methods

High-UPF (81% UPF energy) and non-UPF (0% UPF energy) diets were designed and chemically analyzed to validate energy, macro- and micronutrients, and other dietary components. Plant-based ingredients in the diet were also assessed by FoodSeq. After a 2-wk standardized lead-in diet (59% UPF), 18 adults aged 40 to 65 y were randomly assigned to a eucaloric high-UPF or non-UPF diet for 6 wk. Insulin sensitivity and 24-h glycemic control were measured at baseline and post intervention. Serum global metabolomic profiles were evaluated.

Results

The high-UPF and non-UPF diets were well-matched and consistent with planned energy and nutrient targets. FoodSeq indicated that the high-UPF diet showed more frequent detection of UPF ingredients, such as guar (gum) and corn (corn starch and corn meal). There were no changes in Matsuda Index or HOMA-IR in the pilot trial, however glucose AUC (high-UPF: 13431 ± 3914 mg·min/dL to 13656 ± 4005 mg·min/dL; non-UPF: 15349 ± 4068 mg·min/dL to 14,221 ± 3722 mg·min/dL, P = 0.054; ES = 0.52) and mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE) (high-UPF: 37.6 ± 10.1 mg/dL to 40.2 ± 7.3 mg/dL; non-UPF: 44.5 ± 11.0 mg/dL to 39.3 ± 9.5mg/dL, P = 0.055; ES = 0.51) tended to worsen in the high-UPF vs non-UPF groups. In the non-UPF group, reductions in the food contact chemical 2,4-ditert-butylphenol and in the thermal food processing by-product N6-carboxymethyllysine were observed.

Conclusions

Findings provide preliminary evidence that reducing UPF may reduce T2D risk. Large-scale trials are warranted to evaluate causal effects.
