And nobody said that trans fats are good for you.

So there are certain principles that are unanimously agreed upon.

There's no controversy that junk food is bad for you.

What we have learned is that people who eat the standard American diet, a lot of fast food, French fries, hamburgers, they have a smaller brain than people who don't.

And many studies have shown that when you have a poor diet, you have more inflammation in your brain.

So poor diet literally dirties your brain, to put it simply.

You have a lot of inflammation that happens when you eat junk food.

Now, this is something that's not controversial.

You must avoid eating junk food.

I recommend that look at junk food like smoking.

It's bad for you.

It's really bad for you.

I feel bad when I go to any like a ball game or if you go to a food fair or if you just go anywhere, most food that is available is bad food.

It's really hard.

Ultra processed.

It's really hard to get healthy food most places, unfortunately.

But it is what it is.

And you have to look at it as smoking.

You should avoid eating junk food.

That's the biggest part for brain health.
