This is really incredible and I’m so curious about the why. Anecdotally, people on these drugs report craving healthier / less processed foods, and I am 1,000% convinced we haven’t nearly come to terms with how ultra processed foods are giving us all kinds of diseases.

No the mechanism for their improvement is simply that they eat fewer calories without feeling starved. That's it. Nothing to do with "ultra processed foods."

My guess is reduced inflammation. I don’t necessarily want healthier food on tirzepatide, just much less of it. And I don’t really *crave* any type of food now.

wouldn't the impact of this literally take decades to appear? and a very large sample size?

Not to say it can’t be processed foods. But the more obvious answer is the calorie and fat content being far less. Cancer is heavily tied to inflammation and a high fat diet is gonna contribute to that, whether that fat is ‘ultra-processed’ or not. Healthier weight too.

Haven’t read the study, but is it possible there’s a selection effect here? Patients who are already seriously ill with colon cancer are unlikely to be taking weight loss drugs

"ultra processed" is a completely made up term that has nothing to do with the healthfulness of the foods described as such. Greek yogurt is 'ultra processed'

because if you aren't hungry but do need to eat something , you should make it a small amount of something good.
