Fast Food: A Detriment to Memory

Fast food permanently impairs memory. American researchers conducted experiments on rats and found that a large amount of fatty and sugary food in the diet permanently impairs the ability to remember information. The rats were offered to explore new objects in different places. After a few days, the animals were placed in the same environment as before, but with the addition of a new item. The test subjects who consumed unhealthy food could not recall what and where they had already seen, while the animals from the control group recognized familiar objects. Specialists believe that such dietary behavior during adolescence in humans can lead to similar consequences, which will persist even in adulthood, even when switching to a healthy diet.
