[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 3005, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.marketwatch.com/story/your-diet-could-be-hazardous-to-your-brain-research-shows-11636568690'][B]Opinion: Your diet isn’t just making you obese, it could be speeding up cognitive decline - Marketwatch[/B][/URL] Well, it turns out our toxic modern diet of saturated fats, refined carbs, salt and chemicals may be speeding up our cognitive decline in our senior years, and could even bring on dementia. The good news? It will only affect those it hasn’t already killed through things like obesity, heart disease and diabetes. The cheering news on processed foods and the brain has been confirmed by one of those heartless tests on a bunch of blameless rats in a lab in Ohio.
