I have written many pieces on the dangers of eating the wrong foods.

But unfortunately, we have so many diseases to choose from these days; it’s only a matter of time before one happens to strike.

I fail to mention the effect foods have on our brain regularly.

Dementia and Alzheimer’s are popping up in astonishing numbers.

What we eat not only increases our body’s susceptibility to disease but also affects it on a neurological level. Our brains take just as much of a hit as our bodies.

In this study, the mice were randomly allocated to a standard or high-fat diet for 30 weeks at eight weeks.

Food intake, body weight and glucose levels were monitored, as well as glucose and insulin tolerance tests and cognitive disfunction.

Mice on a high-fat diet put on a lot of weight, developed insulin resistance and began to behave oddly as opposed to those on a normal diet.
