A groundbreaking study from UNC School of Medicine shows that eating junk food can start scrambling memory in just four days. Researchers found that high-fat, Western-style diets rapidly disrupt specific brain cells in the hippocampus—your brain’s memory center—weakening memory circuits even before weight gain or diabetes begin. In this video, discover exactly how junk food alters brain chemistry, why this change raises your risk for dementia and Alzheimer’s, and what early interventions can reverse the damage.
