Research: Fast food diet linked to Alzheimer's
November 30, 2008
Reuters: A Swedish researcher has found that mice fed junk food for nine months showed signs of developing the abnormal brain tangles strongly associated with Alzheimer's disease.
The findings, which come from a series of published papers by a researcher at Sweden's Karolinska Institutet, show how a diet rich in fat, sugar and cholesterol could increase the risk of the most common type of dementia and, in combination with genetic factors, can be a contributory factor in the development of Alzheimer's.
