“Trans-fat consumption shrinks the brain.”
A study in the journal Neurology indicates that a diet high in trans fats not only impairs cognition in aging brains, it is also correlated with actual brain shrinkage. The research found that older people with higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids performed better on cognitive tests than those with lower levels, while the reverse held true for trans fats. Fat levels and other nutritional benchmarks were responsible for an astounding 70% of the variation in cognitive scores.
