• Recent data at a radiology conference sheds light on how diet can impact our muscles and joints.
• The new findings show that a diet high in ultra processed foods is correlated with more fatty infiltration in the quadriceps muscles.
• We know that with more fatty infiltration means weakness and a greater risk of developing knee arthritis (OA).

Here is the press release summarizing the findings and our full video transcript below:
