reports research in mice indicates that “eating an unhealthy, high-carb and high-fat diet does not only impact physical health,” but “it also changes the part of the brain that controls the metabolism.” Investigators “showed the high fat diet seemed to trigger changes in cell powerhouses – or mitochondria – of microglial cells, causing them to spring into action.” The findings were published in the journal Cell Metabolism. https://www.newsweek.com/eating-unhealthy-high-fat-high-carb-diet-also-very-bad-brain-scientists-say-1458429
