Ultraprocessed Foods Can Lead to Cognitive Decline

A study in JAMA Neurology found that ultraprocessed foods, such as white bread, candy bars, cookies, frozen meals and soda, are major brain-dimmers if they make up more than 20% of your daily calories. Middle-aged folks who ate that amount of UPFs showed a 28% faster rate of cognitive decline over eight years and a 25% faster rate of decline in executive function (decision making, etc.).

If you eat 2,400 calories a day, then you’re at increased risk if 480 calories come from ultraprocessed foods. That would be, say, a 12-ounce can of Coke (150 calories) and a hot ‘n’ spicy McChicken (380 calories) or four Oreos (204 calories) and a tall pumpkin spice latte (300 calories) — and that’s just a tiny part of what many folks get in a day from ultraprocessed foods. In fact, in the U.S., 58% of daily calories come from ultraprocessed foods.

If everyone doesn’t wise up, the predictions that 10.5 million Americans will have dementia by 2050 — and millions more will deal with cognition problems — will come true. So, start today (especially important before you sense problems) to clear ultraprocessed foods out of your diet. Go for seven-plus servings a day of fruits and vegetables, only 100% whole grains, no red or processed meats, and lots of salmon and black coffee or tea.
