Neuroscientist Reveals Three Drinks to Avoid for Optimal Brain Health

In a recent video uploaded on May 23, 2025, neuroscientist Robert Love warned against the consumption of three common beverages due to their potential negative impact on brain health. Love, who specializes in helping people prevent Alzheimer's disease, highlighted research findings linking diet soda to a substantially increased risk of type 2 diabetes. "Large studies out of France, over nine years, involving 100,000 people, show those who drink diet soda have a significantly increased risk of type 2 diabetes," he stated. He also cautioned against sugary coffee drinks, pointing to the high fructose corn syrup content as a major concern. Finally, Love advised against conventional skim milk, citing potential hormone disruption and inflammation as detrimental to brain health. While the video's presentation included some clickbait elements, the underlying research presented by Love offers valuable insights into the potential long-term effects of these beverages.
