Is this shocking to anyone at all? There is a reason that hard working people that don't eat a lot of "processed" stuff tend to live longer. I don't know of a lot of city people that make it into their late 90's. Many of them (in the last decades) have very processed diets, don't do physical jobs and just waste away before they even get to their mid 70's.

From the post:

>You may want to think twice before eating deli meat or downing a soda. They could alter your brain health over time. Two researchers at Virginia Tech found that consuming processed meats and sugary beverages, compared with all other ultra-processed foods, is linked to poor memory and cognitive issues. Their findings, which tracked U.S. residents 55 and older for seven years and drew on a data set from the national Health and Retirement Study, were published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The study began in 2013 and tested the same group of people every two years through 2020. The research was funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health. Ultra-processed foods, which are foods that contain a slew of additives, preservatives, and artificial ingredients, already are known to be harmful to human health in a variety of ways. But Ben Katz, associate professor of human development and family science, and Brenda Davy, a professor of human nutrition, foods, and exercise, set out to explore which of these foods may be associated with a greater risk of altering a person’s brain health.

If people don't care to stop eating processed food because they don't care about their health, perhaps they could be appealed to by how good real food tastes, and after eating it, noticing how long they feel full after eating real food.
