yep. Unsweetened organic/pastured greek style yogurt is one of the healthiest things you can eat.

[Huskrrrr]

Start eating them Crickets.

[PGR88]

was the study controlled for obesity?

Because it sounds like that would be highly correlated to both eating “ultra-processed” foods and dementia.

.....Mealworms! YUMMY!...................

"The study was funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China."

• What makes something ultr-processed? What does that mean?
• It looks like they through a bunch of high carb foods together whether it's ultra processed or not.
• I'm surprised to see popcorn in the picture. Unless it's GMO popcorn, isn't that just corn heated until it pops?
• Kind of the same thing with potato chips. Sliced Potatoes, oil, salt. Unless it's something like Pringles.
• What's in the jar on the left that looks like molded vienna saugages?
• Surpised to see pretzels on the list as well. What makes it ultra processed verses any other bread or cakes or donuts?
• Are low net carb tortillia's ultr processed?
• And Pizzas? Other than the crust which is probably no more processed than other breads, what's ultraprocessed? Okay maybe pepperoni and sausage are ultrprocessed. IDK. But most ingredients aren't ultra processed in my mind.

  Either I have dementia or this article is useless.

Or it could just be that people with dementia eat what is easiest to eat and that is junk food.

My m-i-l in the later stages of dementia either didn’t bother to eat at all or ate only junk food, unless someone prepared a meal and sat down with her to eat it.

Before that, she ate very well. She was a very good cook.

***I’m dooooomed!........................😜***

Me too! Almost everything in that picture is something I LOVE!

Now if they are talking about preservatives that is a different bucket of chicken.

I'm thinking at my age, I can use all the preservatives I can get!

[freepertoo]

I was a fitness trainer for 16 years, and I very much advocate for healthy eating. That having been said, my mom is going on 101 years old and she has been a donut and cookie fanatic her entire life. She also has all of her marbles. That totally flies in the face of what I know to be right about nutrition! Drives me crazy.

[oblomov]

Constipation is one of the early symptoms of dementia.

Take care of your butt & gut, and they’ll take care of you.

That, and daily vigorous exercise.

[grumpygresh]

Funded by China. I guess we can trust them?

[Reily]

Well one person is a data point. A 1000 (or more!) people with similar stories is a statistic.

[gnarledmaw]

I need more coffee or an optometrist, I couldnt figure out why a bowl of stewed mushrooms was in the picture...

[gnarledmaw]

Most if not all of the “olive oil” ones are actually soy with a dribble of olive added. Look at the ingredients.

[spankalib]

That’s great!

[gnarledmaw]

Oscar Mayer lunch meats and Kraft ‘cheese’

Those are supposed to be exports to people in states that dont know any better! Im surprised they werent thrown out out at the Illinois border.

[SgtHooper]

Palm oil as well.

“Damn... they just listed my diet.”

WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!

“Start eating them Crickets.”

If you bite down juuust the right way, you can make them CHIRP!
