00:00One Processed Food That's Worse for Your Brain Than You Realize

00:03While it's known that processed foods can irritate the gut,

00:08recent research reveals that they may also harm the brain.

00:12Beyond causing weight gain and chronic diseases, fried foods,

00:16particularly those cooked in reheated oil, might contribute to neurodegenerative diseases

00:20like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS.

00:24This insight challenges the common practice in restaurants of reusing oil to cut costs.

00:30Which had not been extensively studied until the breakthrough research presented at Discover BMB 2024.

00:36The study, led by Kathiresan Shanmugam from Central University of Tamil Nadu,

00:42explored the effects of reheated oils on health.

00:45The findings revealed that reheated oils significantly affect liver lipid metabolism

00:49and reduce DHA transport to the brain,

00:53leading to neurodegeneration seen in both the rats and their offspring.

00:56Deep frying requires high heat, forcing oils to become unstable, less healthful,

01:02and filled with more toxins each time.

01:05Reheating makes oils break down, resulting in changes in fatty acid composition

01:10and increased levels of lipid oxidation products.

01:14Repeat exposure of heat to cooking oil negatively impacts fatty acid composition,

01:19decreasing health-promoting polyunsaturated fats.

01:22Phil and Jerry advises selecting oils high in polyunsaturated fats

01:27and using low-heat cooking methods.

01:30Avoid reusing oils and opt for grilled or roasted foods in restaurants.

01:35To counter inflammation from reheated oils,

01:37consider omega-3 supplements, vitamin E, and curcumin-rich foods.

01:42Strengthen gut and liver health with probiotics.

01:44Further human studies are encouraged.

01:46Practiced.
