Further research into the metabolic and neurobiological effects of ultra-processed food intake on disordered eating, particularly on binging, is needed.

Our #HADLmodel implies that circulating levels of LDL change for protective, not for pathological reasons; an SFA-induced raise in LDL cholesterol in healthy individuals is a normal response, while a lack of this needed response may reflect a deeper pathology in lipid handling.

Vitamin C reduces hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress. Which probably means that reduced sugar intake and less increase in blood glucose requires less vitamin C. The changing requirements of nutrients with changing diets is poorly studied, IMO.
