Introduction: The increase in ultra-processed foods (UPFs) intake has raised concerns about its impact on public health. Prospective observational studies have reported significant associations between higher intake of UPFs and adverse health outcomes. The aim of this study is to determine whether these associations could be confirmed in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Methods: We conducted a systematic review to analyze the evidence on the effects of UPFs intake on health. A systematic search was conducted in Medline, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, LILACS, and CENTRAL up to April 22, 2024. RCTs in English, Spanish, and Portuguese evaluating the health effects of interventions to modify UPFs intake were included. The certainty of evidence was determined using the GRADE methodology. Results: Three educational intervention studies and one controlled feeding trial were included, evalu...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the inclusion of a phytobiotic composed of essential oil of Rosmarinus officinalis, herbal choline, Cynara scolymus meal and Silybum marianum on the productive parameters and the drip losses of the carcass of broilers raised in the humid tropics. In total, 4800 male Ross AP chickens were used, housed in 10 open poultry shed and at ambient temperature (27-37 °C). The birds were distributed in a completely random model composed of five repetitions and two treatments: (D1) control diet with commercial base feed, (D2) commercial base feed with the inclusion of the phytobiotic at 400 g/t. The experimental period lasted 42 days and weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion rate and productivity index were determined. For the evaluation of meat quality, drip losses and malondialdehyde production were measured. On day 42, the animals that cons...
