A small U.S. study found that children who ate more ultra-processed foods showed stronger brain reward responses to food pictures, which was linked to greater body fat increases a year later.
A study found that adults with prediabetes who ate one avocado and a cup of mango daily for eight weeks saw better blood vessel function. The benefits appeared without weight gain, though more research is needed.

A study of nearly 13,000 adults in Brazil found that people who consumed the most low- and no-calorie sweeteners had a 62% faster decline in memory and thinking skills over eight years. The link was strongest in adults under 60 and those with diabetes, though the study does not prove cause and effect.
A new scientific report suggests that eating more potassium-rich foods alongside reducing salt could better manage high blood pressure. This combined approach matters because many people consume too much sodium and too little potassium.
