ULTRA-PROCESSED FOOD AGES YOUR BRAIN 28% FASTER

As a medical school professor, I teach students about neurodegeneration. But the biggest threat to your brain might not be genetics -- it could be what you had for lunch.

A major study followed 10,775 adults for 8 years. People eating more than 20% of calories from ultra-processed food had:

Ultra-processed foods are factory-made foods with many ingredients not commonly found in home cooking. You can identify them by reading ingredient lists and choosing foods with fewer and more natural ingredients. Opting for minimally processed foods over ultra-processed ones can help you make healthier choices for your diet, as ultra-processed foods may have artificial ingredients that can be harmful to your health.

"The McDonald’s moment is an informative one, and a good reminder: The very wealthy corporate leaders who sell you things like McDonald’s hamburgers are not eating that stuff themselves The very wealthy tech entrepreneurs who hawk social media apps and AI tools are not giving their own kids unlimited time online."

"It was the bite heard round the world: McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski posted a video to Instagram of him trying his company’s new offering, the Big Arch, an ultra-processed sandwich he aptly described as 'the product.' He was not lovin’ it. The bite was barely a bite — more of a tentative nibble. 'That is so good,' he said — but it did not look so good."

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) in particular can disrupt and alter the microbes in our gut.
And one of the reasons is increasingly being attributed to the numerous additives in our food.…

I used to teach that heart disease was about cholesterol and genetics.

I never once mentioned ultra-processed food as a primary driver.

A new NHANES study of 4,787 U.S. adults found that the highest ultra-processed food intake was linked to a 47% higher risk of heart attack and stroke — after adjusting for age, smoking, income, and other factors.
