Ultra-Processed Foods Linked to a Dramatically Increased Risk of Dementia Democrat-ia

I wish they'd define "highly processed." Some foods that are routinely considered "junk" are not highly processed.

Perhaps the oils used in a lot of these foods is the culprit.

My God, this is ignorant. Here's how the "study" determined diet choices of participants:

Participants in the study completed at least two questionnaires on what they ate and drank the day before.

Why would anyone post crap like this?

Biden loves ice cream.

It’s okay. Just don’t use your food processor.

[lastchance]

Yogurt is not a highly processed food. I have a feeling that the “study” might not stand up under scrutiny. Just a feeling. We already know that foods made with refined flour, sugar, and fat are not healthful choices. Tht is why they taste so good.

Make sure to eat your highly processed Beyond Meat or Impossible Burgers.
After all, they are one of the 4 main food groups.

[Red Badger]

They are most likely talking about ‘frozen yogurt’ that is like soft serve ice cream....................

Explains much.....................

fwdude :" I wish they'd define "highly processed."

" " I wish they'd define "highly processed."
Me too !
And I believe you may be correct that the culprit will be found in the selection of cooking "oils",
and oils temperature during processing.

[fwdude]

Yep. And there are a lot of virtually industrial-grade oils used to make "food." Most canola falls into this category.

As another poster mentioned, the sugars used are a culprit as well.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Soft drinks, salty and sweet snacks, ice cream, sausage, deep-fried chicken, yogurt, canned tomatoes and baked beans, ketchup, mayonnaise, packaged guacamole and hummus, packaged bread, and flavored cereals are some examples of ultra-processed foods.

Bull.

I mean really completely and totally bull.

Fried chicken is chicken, flour maybe some seasonings fried in oil.

Mayonnaise is egg blended with vinegar and oil, yogurt is milk that has been mixed with culture and left to set about 12 hours.

NONE of these are "ultra-processed".

If I can whip it up in my kitchen in under 30 minutes it is not ultra processed.

Damn... they just listed my diet

China. Again.

The land of fake poisoned toothpaste.

Anything that comes out of China is a lie.

[Red Badger]

I don’t think they are talking about foods you prepare yourself, but foods you buy at the grocery store already to ‘Heat & Serve’ stuff...................

[goodnesswins]

I cannot find a mayonnaise Not made from soybean oil...well there are some olive oil ones...do you make your own?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Oh, easily. Dementia runs in my family, though I’m hoping to slow mine down with clean food, fresh air and sunshine.

My relatives lived on Oscar Mayer lunch meats and Kraft ‘cheese’ slices on a daily basis.
