People consuming the highest amounts of ultra-processed foods may have a higher risk of developing dementia than those who consume the least, according to a new study.
Ultra-processed food such as soft drinks, chips, ice cream, sausage, packaged bread, flavoured cereals, canned tomatoes and baked beans, ketchup and mayonnaise are low in protein and fibre and heavy in added sugar, fat and salt, pointed out scientists, including those from Lund University in Sweden.
