Processed Food and Dementia Risk
Description
New Harvard research reveals that ultra-processed foods like crisps, sugary drinks, and ready meals boost dementia risk by 58%—even mild cognitive decline jumps 46% in heavy consumers. Processed meats stand out as major culprits, but switching to whole foods like fruits, veggies, and whole grains slashes dementia risk by 41%. It’s not just about weight—it’s brain health, with additives possibly triggering inflammation and foods engineered to be addictive. The system that promotes these products is a public health challenge, urging both personal choices and systemic change to protect your mind as you age.
