I would argue, and I could be wrong about this, but there is so much diversity in the human population that people really need to do "self experimentation" and go for a diet and lifestyle that maximises how good they feel.
re: "A single person's biased self-analysis isn't particularly valuable." I was not asking the other poster to accept my results, but rather suggesting that it would be worth the effort to do the experiment themselves.
It's a flawed experiment, though. Literally the smallest possible sample size, extremely susceptible to the placebo effect, no controls.
I'd be interested in a large, rigorously controlled study on this, where the control group is fed convincing imitations of sweet (via artificial sweeteners) and processed (via presentation) foods. A single person's biased self-analysis isn't particularly valuable.
