Fast Food Linked to Increased Dementia Risk
A diet high in ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) is linked to an increased risk for dementia, new research suggests.
In a prospective cohort study, individuals who consumed the highest amounts of soft drinks, chips, and other UPFs had the highest risk of developing dementia compared with their counterparts who consumed the lowest amounts of these foods.
In addition, for every 10% increase in UPF consumption, the odds of developing any kind of dementia rose by 25%.
Interestingly, replacing UPFs in the diet with unprocessed or minimally processed foods was associated with a lower risk.
“Ultra-processed foods are meant to be convenient and tasty, but they diminish the quality of a person’s diet,” lead author Huiping Li, PhD, Tianjin Medical University, China, said in a press release.
“These foods may also contain food additives or molecules from packaging or produced during heating, all of which have been shown in other studies to have negative effects on thinking and memory skills. Our research not only found that ultra-processed foods are associated with an increased risk of dementia, it found replacing them with healthy options may decrease dementia risk,” Li said.
The findings were published online July 27 in Neurology.
