TL;DR Summary

A study of over 2,100 Australians aged 40–70 found that each 10% rise in daily ultra-processed food intake was associated with a measurable drop in attention and processing speed, and a 0.24-point increase in 20-year dementia risk on a 0–7 scale, suggesting even modest UPF consumption may affect brain health—though the study shows association, not causation.
