The standard American diet (SAD), which is high in red and processed meats, refined sugars, processed oils, excess sodium, chemical additives, and preservatives, is not conducive to brain health. "Processed foods, in particular, are often low in fiber, digested quickly, and can cause large swings in our blood sugar levels that can increase inflammation and oxidative stress and have many other deleterious effects upon our brain health," warns Scott Kaiser, M.D., a board certified geriatrician and Director of Geriatric Cognitive Health for the Pacific Neuroscience Institute at Providence Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California.

If you're looking to boost your brain health, here are the foods you should avoid, according to our experts.

High Fructose Corn Syrup

Aspartame (the artificial sweetner)

Fried Foods

Low-Fiber Foods (just not the best choice)

White Flour

Lay’s has a new product for the holiday season, but this time it is far from its traditional chip offering. While Lay’s has been a chip icon for decades, the F&B brand is taking its talents to create a one-of-a-kind vodka for the 21 and over fan.

While it may be a surprising mashup, it is not entirely a stretch from the potato family. In collaboration with Eastside Distilling, Lay’s Vodka has crafted a careful blend of Portland Potato Vodka. The bottle is the perfect holiday surprise for both vodka and Lay’s potato chips lovers, colliding the best of party treats. Starting December 16, those interested will be able to purchase the bottle for $40 USD online at Eastside Distilling.
