Although it's obvious that a diet of hot dogs and ice cream won't lead to a healthy physical life, new research illuminates how ultra-processed foods can also cause a significant decrease in brain function.
"It's no secret that physical and mental-cognitive health are intimately involved with each other, so it's no surprise that this latest research suggests brain impairment, too," said Rafael Perez-Escamilla, a professor of public health at Yale University.Research has linked ultra-processedto health problems like obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancers."And now, we are starting to realize they affect the mind," Perez-Escamilla said.
Previous studies on ultra-processed foods have indicated signs of cognitive decline before, namely with increased risk of dementia. A study published last week found that for every 10% increase in the daily intake of ultra-processed foods, people in the U.K. had a 25% higher risk of developing dementia.
"Independent of the amount of calories, independent of the amount of healthy food that you try to eat, the ultra-processed food is not good for your cognition," Suemoto told NBC News."I know that sometimes it's easier to open a package and throw it in the microwave, but in the long run it's going to cost you some years of life."
Just over half the study's participants were women, white or college-educated. The average age was 51.
