Frequent eating of sweets atrophies the human brain.

Five researchers, all of whom worked at prestigious universities in Australia, have come to a conclusion that has made headlines around the world: people who eat a lot of sugar and bad fats tend to have atrophied brains, a condition referred to as "candied brain" . The opposite trend was also found: People who ate nutrient-dense foods that didn't spike blood sugar levels, along with foods rich in omega-3 fats and protein, tended to have more developed brains.
