Ultra Crave: 초가공 식품에 대한 조사

2026년 9월 21일 업데이트: Ashley Gearhardt, University of Michigan

Ultra Crave: 인간의 초가공 식품 금단에 대한 생물심리행동 조사

This study experimentally investigates whether a reduction in ultra-processed (UP) food intake (1) causes aversive withdrawal symptoms in humans, (2) increases the motivational salience of UP food cues and, if so, (3) whether these factors undermine the ability to adhere to a low-UP diet. The following aims and hypotheses are tested:

Aim 1: To investigate whether aversive physical, cognitive, and affective withdrawal symptoms emerge in response to reduced UP food intake compared to a high-UP diet, and whether this predicts failure to adhere to a low-UP diet.

H1a: Reducing UP food intake will result in aversive physical, cognitive, and affective withdrawal symptoms, as indicated by 1) ecological momentary assessment (EMA) reports of aversive withdrawal symptoms, and 2) heart rate reactivity and subjective distress to an in-lab stressor.

H1b: Aversive symptoms of UP food withdrawal will predict greater UP food intake and higher blood glucose levels when trying to adhere to a low UP diet.

Aim 2: To investigate whether increased motivational salience of UP food cues emerges in response to reduced UP food intake, and whether this predicts failure to maintain a low-UP diet.

H2a: Reducing UP food intake will result in increased motivational salience of UP food cues, as indicated by 1) EMA reports of UP food craving, 2) heart rate reactivity and subjective craving in a simulated fast-food restaurant, 3) heightened reinforcement value for UP food relative to other reinforcers, and 4) greater reward-related neural response to UP food cues.

H2b: Increased motivational salience of UP food cues will predict greater UP food intake and higher blood glucose levels when trying to adhere to a low UP diet.

상세 설명

The study will include a combination of in-person, at-home, and virtual activities over the course of ~14 days (contingent on scheduling, this duration may vary and particularly between in-person visits #1 and #2). Participants complete three in-lab visits. Visit 1 and 2 will each followed by a week of remote data tasks (e.g., EMA, continuous glucose monitoring, physical activity and sleep tracking (Fitbit), and two 24-hour dietary recall interviews).

During in-lab visit #1, participants will complete questionnaires, behavioral tasks, and interviews, and will have body composition measurements taken (height, weight, Inbody scan). Participants will complete the remote tasks for the following week while eating their typical diet (i.e., baseline period).

During in-lab visit #2, participants will complete questionnaires, interviews, and body composition measurements (height, weight, Inbody scan). Participants are randomly assigned to one of three conditions--control (i.e., high UP), self-guided low UP, or meals provided low UP--and will follow instructions about how to eat consistent with their condition during week 2 of remote data collection (i.e., dietary intervention period).

During in-lab visit #3, participants will complete questionnaires, behavioral tasks, body composition measurements (height, weight, InBody scan), and an fMRI scan.

Participants are contacted 1- and 3-months later to complete a short follow-up survey and provide information about their current diet.

측정값 설명
기간
Reactivity to a stressor
기간: Assessed post-dietary intervention during in-lab Visit 3 (1 day)

Stress reactivity will be assessed using an in-lab stress task that has participants listen to an audio recording of a current stressor in their life. Participants' heart rate in response to the audio recording, relative to a baseline measurement, will be used as an indicator of stress reactivity; an increase in heart rate will be indicative of greater stress reactivity.

Assessed post-dietary intervention during in-lab Visit 3 (1 day)
Self-reported reactivity to a stressor
기간: Assessed post-dietary intervention during in-lab Visit 3 (1 day)

Stress reactivity will be assessed using an in-lab stress task that has participants listen to an audio recording of a current stressor in their life. Participants' subjective ratings of reactivity will be assessed at baseline (prior to listening to the audio recording) and immediately after listening to the audio recording using the negative affect subscale from the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS); each item is rated on a 1 (very slightly or not at all) to 5 (extremely) scale, with higher numbers indicating greater experienced affect; an increase in score, relative to baseline, will indicate greater stress reactivity.

Assessed post-dietary intervention during in-lab Visit 3 (1 day)
Cue reactivity to a simulated fast food restaurant
기간: Assessed post-dietary intervention during in-lab Visit 3 (1 day)

Participants will spend 5 minutes in a simulated fast food restaurant. Participants' heart rate in response to the simulated fast food restaurant, relative to a baseline measurement, will be used as an indicator of cue reactivity; increases in will be indicative of greater cue reactivity.

Assessed post-dietary intervention during in-lab Visit 3 (1 day)
Self-reported cue reactivity to a simulated fast food restaurant
기간: Assessed post-dietary intervention during in-lab Visit 3 (1 day)

Participants will spend 5 minutes in a simulated fast food restaurant. Participants' subjective craving will be assessed at baseline (prior to entering the restaurant) and while in the restaurant on a scale from 0 (no craving at all) to 100 (I have never craved food more), with greater numbers indicating higher craving; an increase in score, relative to baseline, will indicate greater cue reactivity.

Assessed post-dietary intervention during in-lab Visit 3 (1 day)
Level of reinforcement value for ultra processed foods
기간: Baseline assessed during in-lab Visit 1 (1 day); assessed again post-dietary intervention during in-lab Visit 3 (1 day)

Participants will complete a computerized task that measures their willingness to work (i.e., reinforcement value) for a UP food gift card relative to a non-food gift card.

Baseline assessed during in-lab Visit 1 (1 day); assessed again post-dietary intervention during in-lab Visit 3 (1 day)
Magnitude of neural reward-related response to tasting a milkshake
기간: Assessed post-dietary intervention during in-lab Visit 3 (1 day)

Participants will complete an fMRI paradigm where they see a UP food cue (i.e., picture of a chocolate milkshake) that predict receipt of a UP food (i.e., a chocolate milkshake). The paradigm also includes a control cue (i.e., picture of a water glass) that predicts receipt of a tasteless solution (which contains the ionic components of saliva; 25 mM KCl and 2.5 mM NaHCO3 in distilled water). Participants' activation in neural regions associated with reward (e.g., mOFC, striatum) to the milkshake cue (relative to the water cue) will be used as a measure of increased reward-related response to UP food cues.
