#209: Your Teen’s Emotional Dysregulation Could Be Caused By Ultra-Processed Foods

What's the scientific truth about ultra-processed foods? Kids and teens often survive on foods that would easily fall into this category. 
Additives such as preservatives, artificial sweeteners, and food dyes can negatively impact a teenager's, a tween's, or a child's mental health and emotional regulation and behavior. 
Listen and learn how substances in foods and beverages your child may be consuming every day, may be to blame for their emotional outbursts or may contribute to their anxiety or ADHD. 
And be sure to follow up with today's Substack post, Who's Protecting Your Teen From Ultra Processed Foods? where I explain more about the U.S. FDA and how it falls short in protecting our kids and teens.
