Sources — Ultra-processed food (academic track)

This question is behavioral, not molecular: there is no molecular-scale open imagery that belongs to it. The molecular panel therefore shows the food scale — real, openly-licensed photographs of meals across the processing spectrum — plus clearly-labeled schematics. No micrographs were fabricated.

Images used

Molecular cascade (food-scale photographs)

  1. A fast-food meal (photograph)

  6. A vegetable salad bowl (photograph)

  7. Source file: Salad bowl, Kiedrich.jpg — leafy vegetables, mushrooms, herbs, bread.

  11. "The proximal-property account" — schematic drawn by us, labeled "Schematic" on the graphic (not experimental data).

Cellular scene (food-scale photographs + design schematic)

  1. Fast-food meal, closer (photograph) — close crop of image 1 (same author, license CC BY 2.0).
  2. Salad bowl, closer (photograph) — close crop of image 2 (same source, CC0).
  3. "Matched crossover design" — schematic drawn by us, labeled "Schematic" on the graphic (not experimental data).

The graphics are labeled "Real photographs + labeled schematics" in the header chip, and the kicker reads "FOOD SCALE · REAL PHOTOGRAPHS" so the imagery's true scale is explicit.
