Research on mice links fast food to Alzheimer's | Science | Reuters

Research on mice links fast food to Alzheimer's | Science | Reuters: "LONDON (Reuters) - Mice fed junk food for nine months showed signs of developing the abnormal brain tangles strongly associated with Alzheimer's disease, a Swedish researcher said on Friday.

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."

I think anybody who ate as much fast food as they fed those mice would be dead long before dementia set in.
