A study, published this week, highlights how eating higher amounts of ultra-processed foods can be detrimental to the brain.
More and more restaurants are the country are adding vegan and vegetarian options to their menus.
The study was conducted between 2008 and 2017. Participants answered questionnaires about their food and drink intake and were followed over a range of six to 10 years. Interestingly, the study also noted how even if ultra-processed foods made up 20% of an individual’s diet — if the rest of that person’s diet consisted of unprocessed, whole foods — there was no association with cognitive decline.
"The overall composition of the average U.S. diet has shifted towards a more processed diet. This is concerning, as eating more ultra-processed foods is associated with poor diet quality and higher risk of several chronic diseases," Filippa Juul, an assistant professor at NYU School of Public Health and the 2021 study’s lead author, said in a statement.
