Washington (US): The risk of acquiring dementia may be higher in people who consume the most ultra-processed foods, such as soft drinks, chips, and cookies, than in those who consume the least of these items.

Unprocessed or minimally processed foods were found to be related with a lower risk when ultra-processed foods were substituted in a person's diet, according to researchers.
