New research, published in the latest issue of the journal Metabolic Brain Disease, shows that fatty foods may not only be adding to your waistline but also playing havoc with your brain.
The international study led by University of South Australia (UniSA) neuroscientists Professor Xin-Fu Zhou and Associate Professor Larisa Bobrovskaya has established a clear link between mice fed a high-fat diet for 30 weeks, resulting in diabetes, and a subsequent deterioration in their cognitive abilities, including developing anxiety, depression and worsening Alzheimer's disease.
