An Australian study concluded that " dietary -fat and high sugar , or just a high sugar content , in a short time can damage the hippocampus of the brain that causes a loss of memory , even before gaining weight . "
Morris from the University of New South Wales said , further research is needed to determine whether treatment of inflammation could improve cognitive deficits or whether exercise can fix the damage.
" These findings suggest that poor diet continuously will have an impact on brain function , " said Morris quoted DW.DE.
Researchers experimented with fatty foods and drinks with high sugar content of the rat . Less than one week , the mice suffered from memory loss .
It is surprising that Australian researchers are reduced cognitive ability occurred even before the rats experienced weight menambahan of eating " junk food " .
" We never thought that this could happen so quickly , " said Margaret Morris of the University of New South Wales , one of the members of the research team .
He added , " This discovery may have impilikasi for humans . Because that's the kind of food like that is now being consumed by humans . Fast food is tasty and cheap . "
Rats were fed cakes , biscuits , and " junk food " other . Drinks consumed is a liquid with the sugar content of 10 percent . And appetite brand five times higher than the other group of mice fed a healthy diet .
Inflammation of the brain's hippocampus
In the span of a week , the researchers found that inflammation in the brain and hippocampus of mice experienced memory loss .
" We can not prove why , but this seems a result of inflammation of the brain . The more severe inflammation in the hippocampus , the greater the cognitive deficits . "
Two years ago , in the UK people who are used as experimental objects . They were fed " junk food " for five days . As a result, they react to five times slower than a group of people who eat healthily .
