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 . "

" 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 .
