Dementia risk: Ultra-processed foods may accelerate cognitive decline

Summary

Nutrition label

80% Informative

Almost all food is processed for preservation, but ultra-processed “ready-to-eat’ foods are often nutritionally poor and may lead to overconsumption.

A new study shows people who consume more ultra-processing foods are at greater risk of cognitive decline.

The study was recently published in Not all processed foods are created equal, as many foods are processed to preserve their flavor, texture, and freshness.

Dr. Scott Kaiser , a geriatrician and director of Geriatric Cognitive Health for the Pacific Neuroscience Institute at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica , CA , not involved in the study.

Around 40% of all dementia cases could “theoretically be prevented, or significantly delayed” if the risk for dietary and lifestyle factors play a role were eliminated.
