People who eat more processed foods may be at higher risk of developing dementia, a study has indicated.
Researchers found that replacing such foods with minimally processed options were associated with a lower risk of the condition.
Academics at Tianjin Medical University in China found that consuming more unprocessed foods - equalling to half an apple a day - while reducing consumption of ultra-processed foods - equating to a chocolate bar a day - is associated with three per cent decreased risk of dementia.
