Researchers found that every portion of #ultraprocessed food increased serious cardiovascular risk whether or not you already have conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes.

It is time to drastically cut back on the ultra-processed foods so popular in the American diet.

Beyond the Plate: Ultraprocessed Foods and Behavior in Early Childhood In today's episode we're exploring the surprising link between what preschoolers eat and how they act. New research from the CHILD Cohort Study reveals that high consumption of ultraprocessed foods at age three is associated with increased behavioral and emotional symptoms by age five. We dive into why sugary drinks and ready-to-eat meals might be impacting internalizing and externalizing behaviors.  Discover how simply substituting these items with minimally processed alternatives like whole fruits and vegetables can significantly support a child’s behavioral development. Join us as we unpack the science of the gut-brain axis and neuroinflammation.
