Milkshake study reveals hidden effects of processed foods on brain and body

This study looked at how advanced glycation end products (AGEs) found in processed foods like whey protein affect metabolism and memory. Twenty-four healthy, sedentary adults (young and older) drank milkshakes with high or low AGEs and fat. Researchers measured blood markers and cognitive performance to see if AGEs have short-term effects. The goal is to understand how these common food compounds might influence health.
