Ultra-processed foods can affect not only our bodies but also our brains, potentially leading to changes in our learning, memory, and emotions, and can act as addictive substances, leading to intense cravings and compulsive consumption.
This type of food can impact how we learn and remember things. Recent studies have established a link between diets high in ultra-processed foods and an increased risk of mental health issues and depression.
In the United States, there is consideration for including the consumption of ultra-processed foods in the diagnostic guides of psychiatrists and psychologists.
