Eating more ultra-processed foods associated with increased risk of dementia

  > A limitation of the study was that cases of dementia were determined by looking at hospital records and death registries rather than primary care data, so milder cases may have been overlooked. I'd bet they'd find the same association with every other disease of metabolic syndrome, including obesity, diabetes, stroke, heart disease, neuropathy, alzheimer's, etc. Hopefully someday soon they can disentangle the contribution to this of ultra-processing versus nutritional content. And, the contribution of increased palatability versus digestive differences.
