While this is true, you have to ask yourself why? I believe it is because people who say they are “dieting” are more likely to be obsessed with the idea of dieting, therefore the packaging and marketing is much more influential than to the average or even health conscious eaters. By being more obsessed with the idea, they allow themselves to splurge on items that have been marketed as healthy - helping them (mentally) feel like they are accomplishing their goal; even though they are not.
I also believe the study needs to clarify what they mean by dieters; I assume you are referring to people trying to lose weight versus people who try to eat a healthy, balanced diet? This notion is something that needs to be culturally re-invented so that more people are cognizant of the idea of healthy eating for reasons beyond losing weight.
