Would be great to see a factor breakdown (obviously hard). I can see several reasons why processed food leads to this result: chemically better tasting (optimal flavor blast + salt/falt), mentally better tasting (i.e. comfort food), or some deeper gut reasons?

because this then sets the agenda for how we fix this problem.
