Scientists Fed One Group of People Ultraprocessed Foods and Another Group Whole Foods, and the Difference in What Happened to Them Was Wild
As the industrial food system pushes ultraprocessed foods to every corner of the globe, new research shows that even seemingly healthy packaged meals may fall short of the benefits offered by whole, minimally processed foods. A fascinating new study published in Nature Medicine dove into the real-world effects ultraprocessed foods have on the human body. Following a six-month clinical trial involving 55 volunteers, researchers at the University College London found that eating minimally processed foods was not only potent fuel for weight loss, but quickly led to healthier biomedical readings across the board — a grim indictment of what's inexorably become the norm in global eating. To run the experiment, the team of over 20 researchers split the participants into two groups, each of which followed a strict diet for eight weeks. One group was assigned to eat only minimally processed whole foods, while the other was given the task of eating mainly hyper-processed slop. After the first diet was finished, the volunteers took a four-week break, then switched to the other chow. Given the direct comparison, the findings are noteworthy. Participants on the non-processed food regimen burned more fat, had lower systolic blood pressure, and lower levels of glycated hemoglobin — bloodsugar, essentially — compared to the processed one. And zooming in a bit, the researchers found that losses in fat mass, body fat percentage, visceral fat rating and total body water mass were "significantly lower" on the whole food diet, but not the ultraprocessed one. Participants on the processed diet also reported a greater number of "adverse events," like constipation, acid reflux, fatigue, and infections. Volunteers surveyed said that both diets were equally satisfying, likely because both tended toward "healthier"-seeming foods — both diets followed UK government dietary guidelines — though they reported having an easier time controlling their cravings on the non-processed diet, as noted by Gizmodo. Comparing the two menus is fascinating on its own. Participants on the non-processed diet enjoyed meals like breakfast cinnamon and apple overnight oats, sticky BBQ ribs with smoky rice and fruit, and salmon with herbed new potatoes and mixed vegetables. Their snacks were stuff like like blueberry, oat, nut and seed muffins, and pasta salad. Alarmingly, the ultraprocessed group were treated to foods that, on a surface level, looked comparable: commercial breakfast oat and fruit bars, premade ribs and rice with fruit snacks, and boxed salmon with potatoes and corn, and snacks made up of meal-replacement drinks, plant-based yogurt, and packaged wrapped oat bars. Though definitions vary, ultraprocessed food is typically identified as containing foodstuff rarely, if ever used in kitchens — like high-fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oil — or which have been pumped full of synthetic additives like flavoring, dyes, sweeteners, or emulsifiers. Studies have shown that ultraprocessed food makes up over half of the dietary energy consumed in high-income countries like the US and the UK, the latter of which is where the clinical trial was run. Meanwhile, the ultraprocessed food market is projected to grow by an astonishing $856 billion over the next four years. It's not just about individual choices at the grocery store or restaurant, either: the class differences in diets are stark, with poor people forced to consume far more cheap ultraprocessed junk than their more affluent peers, meaning that to meaningfully improve health outcomes, the food supply needs to be restructured at a basic level.

New research may have found the secret to delaying chronic illness in old age
Imagine two people in their 70s. Both are active, live independently and enjoy life. But over the next 15 years, one of them develops two or three chronic illnesses – heart disease, diabetes, depression – while the other remains relatively healthy. What made the difference? According to our new research, diet may be a key part of the answer. In our new study, our group at the Aging Research Center at the Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, followed more than 2,400 older Swedish adults for 15 years. We found that people who consistently ate a healthy diet developed chronic diseases more slowly, in contrast to those whose diets were considered more inflammatory; that is, diets high in processed meats, refined grains and sugary drinks, which are known to promote low-grade chronic inflammation in the body. This is important because having several health conditions at the same time is one of the biggest problems older people face. It increases the risk of disability, hospitalisation and early death. It also places a huge burden on healthcare systems. But while it has been long known that diet can help prevent individual diseases, our study shows that it may also influence the overall pace of biological ageing. We looked at four well-known dietary patterns. Three of them – the Mind diet (designed to protect brain health), the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (based on foods linked to lower disease risk) and the Mediterranean diet – were associated with slower disease accumulation. The fourth, a diet high in inflammatory foods, was linked to faster accumulation. The strongest associations were seen for cardiovascular and psychiatric conditions. So, people who ate better were less likely to develop diseases including heart failure, stroke, depression or dementia. We did not, however, find a clear link between diet and musculoskeletal diseases such as arthritis or osteoporosis. Some of the benefits of healthy eating were more pronounced in women and in the oldest participants: those aged 78 and above. This suggests that it is never too late to make changes. Even in very old age, diet matters. Why does food have such a strong potential? One reason may be inflammation. As people age, many develop low-grade chronic inflammation – sometimes called 'inflammaging' – which is linked to a wide range of diseases. Diets high in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and healthy fats tend to reduce inflammation. Diets rich in highly processed foods and sugar do the opposite. Another reason is that healthy diets support the body's resilience. They provide essential nutrients that help maintain immune function, muscle mass and cognitive health. Over time, this can make a big difference in how people age. Our study is one of the longest and most comprehensive of its kind. We used repeated dietary assessments and tracked more than 60 chronic health conditions. We also tested our findings using different analytical methods to make sure they held up. Of course, diet is just one piece of the puzzle. Physical activity, social connections and access to healthcare all play important roles in healthy ageing. But improving diet quality is a relatively simple and accessible way to help older adults live longer, healthier lives. So what should older adults eat? The message is clear: eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts and whole grains. Choose healthy fats like rapeseed oil and fish. Limit red and processed meats, sugary drinks and solid fats. These are the building blocks of the diets we studied – and they have been associated with slower ageing, better brain health and fewer chronic diseases in this and other research. Ageing is inevitable. But people can shape how it unfolds. Our findings suggest that even small changes in diet can make a meaningful difference in how people experience later life, regardless of their age.

Gear News of the Week: iPhone 17 May Be a Month Away, and Sonos to Raise Prices
Plus: Seiko's official Pepsi watches are here (for anyone who needs a GMT Master II), and Motorola showcases a bedazzled products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links. Learn more. If rumors are correct, Apple's annual iPhone event will take place exactly a month from today, on September 9. That's according to a German website citing internal documents from German mobile phone providers, but the date was also previously suggested by Bloomberg's Apple whisperer, Mark Gurman. Leaks about Apple's upcoming smartphone lineup have heated up in recent weeks. Apple is expected to debut four iPhones as usual, with one key distinction. The 'Plus' iPhone no longer exists, replaced by an ultra-thin iPhone, dubbed iPhone 17 Air, not unlike the svelte Galaxy S25 Edge that Samsung unwrapped a few months ago. Apple has always offered a standard iPhone and two iPhone Pro models, but the fourth iPhone hasn't stayed consistent for more than a few years—there was the Mini, the Plus, and now the Air. Leaked renders and images suggest an all-new design, with a horizontal camera bar on the Air that resembles Google's Nexus 6P. The iPhone 17 Pro models may also see a similar horizontal camera redesign, and there's a chance Apple will switch to aluminum instead of titanium. They may sport a half-aluminum and half-glass rear design for improved durability. Other changes include Apple's ProMotion technology on all iPhone 17 models, finally bringing a 120-Hz screen refresh rate to the cheaper devices; an improved 24-MP selfie camera; and a 48-MP telephoto camera on the Pro iPhones. Prices are expected to rise due to tariffs, though we'll have to wait to find out exactly how much you'll have to cough up to Apple for a new iPhone this fall. That is, unless you've lost your appetite for the fruit. There's a New Pepsi Watch in Town Seiko unveiled a pair of bubbly creations in partnership with Pepsi, creating what are sure to be two of the most popular novelty watches of the year. Both models are variants of existing Seiko 5 Sports watches, one with a white on silver colorway for the dive-style SRPL99, and the other dark charcoal for the GMT-style SSK047. Both have covetable implementations of classic Pepsi red and blue on the bezel, with the dive watch using the motif as a timer, while the GMT deploys the colors for day and night in world time mode. Watch enthusiasts will no doubt get the joke Seiko and Pepsi are making together here: the Rolex GMT Master II, originally made in Pan Am colors, is called the 'Pepsi' in the watch community for its similarity to the soda brand's logo. It has been an iconic collector's watch for decades. By partnering with Pepsi officially, and going with a dark color, Seiko has created the Dark Pepsi GMT, and Pepsi finally has an official say in the matter. Both pieces are limited to 7,000 units and will be released in September. The SRPL99 will retail for $395 on a stainless steel strap, and the SSK047 will cost $550 on a custom-printed Pepsi rubber strap. The bad news? If you didn't get on the pre-order list fast, chances are you'll have to wait for these to resurface on reseller sites. — Parker Hall Sonos to Raise Prices Due to Tariffs As President Trump's wide-ranging (and fast-changing) tariff plan rolls out, we're starting to get confirmation that higher prices on imported goods do, in fact, pass down to the consumer, with the latest coming from recently appointed Sonos CEO, Tom Conrad. As reported by Bloomberg, Conrad touched on Sonos' forthcoming price increases during his first quarterly earnings report. Telling investors that the brand has worked to 'minimize the downstream impact' to Sonos customers, Conrad explained that most of Sonos' products are manufactured in Vietnam and Malaysia, which he said will be subject to new 20 percent and 19 percent tariff rates, respectively, under Trump's plan. For context, other electronics brands have been less explicit about the tariff increases directly, with JBL blaming a $50 price increase on its new Tour One M3 headphones months after launch on 'global industry pressures.' Just how much Sonos plans to raise prices and which products will be affected remains to be seen. —Ryan Waniata Motorola Debuts a Bedazzled Razr Remember bedazzling your Razr? You can relive those days with Motorola's Brilliant Collection, which includes the latest Razr 2025 and Moto Buds Loop, in a new Pantone Ice Melt color, complete with Swarovski crystals. Motorola first announced a partnership with Swarovski in April when it debuted its latest Razr phones, though the original collaboration began with the new Moto Buds Loop wireless earbuds in a French Oak color. Now, the base Razr 2025 model is getting the dazzling upgrade with 35 Swarovski crystals on the leather-inspired finish. The Moto Buds Loop is getting the same treatment as its original debut, just in the new Ice Melt color. The company says limited quantities are available and 'more curated device collections' are on the way. How much does a bedazzled Razr cost? The same as the normal model, apparently. The Brilliant Collection retails for $1,000, and it includes the phone and the wireless earbuds. That's the same amount you'd pay if you bought the Moto Buds Loop and Razr 2025 at MSRP. Not too bad for anyone desperately trying to recreate their rhinestone-rich 2005 wardrobe.
