Mice fed a high-fat, high-sugar diet become dumber, studies show, and researchers believe it’s a good indicator of the risks associated with the Western diet.
Scientists from the University of Southern California analyzed the results of dozens of studies done on small rodents. They saw that this eating style in the early stages of life, important for development, leads to poorer memory, higher levels of anxiety and cognitive problems. And these effects occur regardless of whether weight is affected or not.
The study, which was published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience, shows that diet may have a much greater impact on neurological health and development than previously thought. Experts have found that a diet high in calories and fat can lead to poorer memory, increased anxiety and other cognitive problems.
The study found that mice fed a Western diet during the early stages of life, which are very important for development, suffered from greater anxiety and poorer memory functions, regardless of their weight.
Addiction-like behavior has also been observed. The mice grew up with an appetite for foods full of sugar and fat, writes digi24.ro.
