People who get more of their daily energy consumption from ultraprocessed foods are more likely to have a faster rate of decline in brain function, according to a study from Brazil. The study followed around 15,000 people for 6-10 years, and found that people with the highest intake of ultraprocessed food consumption showed a 28% faster rate of cognitive decline and a 25% faster rate of executive function decline compared to those who ate the least. The authors say the findings support current public health recommendations on limiting ultraprocessed food consumption because of their potential harm to brain function.
