From Table 3 Fasting Blood Measurement Baseline:

> PYY (pg/mL) 25.1 ± 1.9 34.3 ± 1.9

> Several lines of evidence suggest that low circulating PYY concentrations predispose towards the development and or maintenance of obesity. [0]

A highly processed diet reduces the levels of PYY in the blood by around 30-40%. That's pretty damning evidence.
