Artificially-sweetened and Sugary Drinks, and Ultra‑Processed Foods: From Liver Disease to Neurodegeneration
We often separate liver disease, metabolic disorders and dementia into different boxes, but ultra‑processed foods and sugary drinks connect them all.
Chronic exposure to liquid sugar and highly processed products drives fatty liver (MASLD), insulin resistance and systemic inflammation, which then spill over into the brain through the gut–liver–brain axis.
Emerging research links MASLD with higher rates of neuroinflammation, structural brain changes and dementia. Understanding this shared pathway transforms “just a can of soda” into a meaningful lever for protecting both long‑term metabolic health and cognitive function.

Ultra-Processed Foods Dominate UK and US Diets: What It Means for Health and Policies
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) have quietly taken over supermarket shelves and family dinner tables across the UK, the US, and much of the developed world. Once an occasional treat, these factory-made products, packed with additives, refined sugars, and industrial ingredients, now account for more than half of all food purchases in both countries. Health experts warn that this seismic shift in our diets is driving a surge in obesity, chronic disease, and early mortality, especially among the most vulnerable communities.

How Ultra-Processed Diets Disrupt Hunger Cues and Drive Overeating (And How to Fix It)
Ultra-processed foods don’t just add empty calories; they actively disrupt your body’s natural hunger and satiety cues. The result? More cravings, constant snacking, and unpredictable energy crashes that undermine well-being and productivity.
In my latest article, I break down the science behind how UPFs hijack our appetite, the roles of sugar, salt, and trans fats, and share practical strategies to restore natural hunger signals and stable energy.
