TOO MUCH SUGAR AND FAT WOULD MAKE YOU STUPID

Researchers from Oregon University have discovered that too much sugar or fat in your diet would make you stupid.

I know you must wonder how what you are putting in your stomach affects your brain.

The researchers found that high-sugar and high-fat diets cause changes in gut bacteria (microbiome) that appear to lead to a significant decrease in “cognitive flexibility” (the ability to adapt to changes).

The effect was more on high-sugar diet, which also showed an impairment of early learning for both long-term and short-term memory.

The researchers from Oregon University used laboratory mice that consumed different diets for the research and the findings were published in the journal Neuroscience, in work supported by the Microbiology Foundation and the National Science Foundation.

During the research, the researchers found that mice on the high-sugar and high-fat diet showed decreased physical and mental performance in the test.

The study suggests that diets high in sugar and fat might actually be impairing our ability to think clearly every day.
