Junk Food Harms Developing Brains, Affecting Long-Term Memory

New research reveals that consuming a high-fat, high-sugar Western diet during critical brain development years can lead to long-term memory impairment. This impairment is linked to a decrease in a neurotransmitter associated with Alzheimer’s disease and isn’t reversed by adopting a healthy diet in early adulthood. The Western diet, characterized by high intake of processed
