📢Change analysis in Harvard cohorts looking at diet pop Each +3 servings/wk in ASB intake was associated with −0.18kg weight change (CI: −0.26, −0.11) over 4yr intervals. While water is the ideal choice, ASB offer a solution for SSB consumers. 👇 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🍕 A JAMA study of 2,077 children found that higher intake of ultra-processed foods at age 3 was linked to greater behavioural problems, such as higher anxiety, aggression and hyperactivity, by age 5. 🔗 jamanetwork.com/jour... #HealthNews #ChildHealth #PublicHealth #Science

Higher intake of ultraprocessed foods at age 3 years was associated with more adverse behavioral and emotional symptoms by age 5 years, while replacing ultraprocessed with minimally processed foods was associated with better outcomes. ja.ma/408dBKi

New study: Kids 🧒 eating more ultra-processed foods 🌭🍕at age 3 showed higher rates of behavioral & emotional problems by age 5. The good news — replacing just 10% of UPFs with whole foods 🍒🥑was associated with better outcomes. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
