No doubt it's a factor due to people failing to absorb as many nutrients, leading to increased over-eating

this is highly speculative. people don’t over eat because they’re lacking vitamin X, they over eat because processed foods are scientifically designed to be tasty as fuck. we are surrounded by ultra indulgent food and a lot of people can’t handle it.

And stress. And processed foods tend to be high in calories.

It's speculative to suggest that it's a factor?

Meanwhile you're talking as if there's a single definitive cause and effect in a fundamentally complex system.
