Instant noodles, soft drinks, sweetened breakfast cereals and ready meals: Ultra-processed food means not only missing recommended grains and proteins, but it can also leave you at risk of “silent stroke” and cognitive decline by middle age, researchers in Canada say.

After testing around 9,000 people aged 35 to 69, scientists at McMaster University and the Population Health Research Institute (PHRI) found those with the “highest intake” of processed food to be 40% more likely to exhibit a form of brain damage that “may increase the chances of clinical stroke and future memory problems”.

越来越多的研究表明，高加工食品饮食与多种健康风险相关，包括中年时期可能出现的与无症状性中风相关的脑部变化。——德新社

方便面、软饮料、甜味早餐麦片和速食：加拿大研究人员表示，超加工食品不仅意味着缺乏推荐的谷物和蛋白质，还可能导致中年时患上“无症状性中风”和认知能力下降。

麦克马斯特大学和人口健康研究所 (PHRI) 的科学家对大约 9000 名年龄在 35 岁至 69 岁之间的人进行了测试，发现加工食品摄入量“最高”的人出现某种脑损伤的可能性高出 40%，这种脑损伤“可能会增加临床中风和未来记忆问题的机会”。
