Ultra-Processed Foods & ADHD
- Airline travel can be complicated and frustrating. 2:30)

- Vinnie shares what processed versus ultra-processed foods are. (9:00)
-
Ultra-processed foods damage your focus even if you otherwise eat healthy.
- A recent study in Australia measured the effect of processed foods on ADHD. (12:30)
- For every 10% increase in ultra-processed foods, there was a measurable drop in people’s ability to focus on cognitive tests.
- A 10% increase on average was equivalent to that sandwich-sized bag of potato chips!
- The FDA has stated that up to 70% of children’s diets come from ultra-processed foods. (20:00)
- New York has rolled out a pilot program to reduce UPFs, and although it’s early, the results are impressive.
- They discuss “Postum propaganda” from decades ago. (25:00)
- Some of the recommendations for schools, although they aim to move in a better direction, still need to include more real protein and healthy fats. (35:00)
- Your body can have a type of “muscle memory” and “fat memory,” and yo-yo dieting demonstrates this effect. (38:45)
- Approximately every seven years, every cell in your body has turned over. (40:00)
- But it turns out your immune system has a “memory” as well, and even though you may have lost weight, your body may still see you at risk.
- Vinnie is not a fan of GLP-1s because your body can get to a healthier point without having to take drugs. It may not happen as quickly as with drugs, but the side effects are not worth it. (41:35)
- The “no duh” award this week goes to the study that confirms getting a variety of exercise is good for you! (43:16)
