Ultraprocessed Foods and the Risk of Cognitive Impairment and Dementia in Older US Adults: 2013–2020 Health and Retirement Study  The scientists analyzed the impact of specific types of ultraprocessed foods. They found that processed meats, such as bacon, hot dogs and sliced ham, were linked to the highest risk of dementia and cognitive impairment. 

In the study, the group that ate the most ultraprocessed foods had an average intake of nearly a kilogram a day of such products, more than four times as high as those who ate the least.

Because the research is observational, it can’t prove that ultraprocessed foods cause dementia and cognitive impairment. https://www.wsj.com/health/wellness/adding-to-the-list-of-dementia-risks-a-diet-high-in-ultraprocessed-foods-04dd40b6
