Ultra Processed Foods and the Risk of Dementia

A new study found that for every 10% increment in ultra processed food consumption, we see a 25% increased risk of the development of Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. We want to reduce our consumption of ultra processed foods. They tend to be loaded with added sugars, added fats, added sodium, which is not a bad thing. But they push your brain to a bliss point beyond which self control is just futile.
