Fatty foods 'offer memory boost'

No wonder fat people never forget to eat.

"Eating fatty foods can help boost memory, a US study suggests.

A team at the University of California, Irvine discovered oleic acids from fats are converted into a memory-enhancing agent in the gut."

Here is the image associated with the article:



This is the caption: "Fried foods are high in fat."

"But he said this might not always be helpful. While OEA contributes to feelings of fullness after a meal, it could also engender long-term cravings for fatty foods that, when eaten in excess, can cause obesity.

Rebecca Wood, chief executive of the Alzheimer's Research Trust, said: 'This is fascinating research and advances our understanding of the impact that diet can have on brain activity.

"When thinking about what constitutes a healthy diet, usually what's good for the heart is also good for the head.

'While this research suggests that fatty foods could help in the formation of longer term memories, a healthy balanced diet is still the best advice for reducing the risk of developing dementia.

'Better understanding of how memories are formed could lead to new treatments that help the brain when it becomes affected by Alzheimer's.'

Professor Harald Hansen, of The Danish University of Pharmaceutical Sciences, in Copenhagen, has been studying OEA's anti-obesity properties.

He said: 'Clariyfing the role of OEA in human food consumption will add to our understanding of the development of the obesity epidemic. Such knowledge may possibly also help us develop drug candidates for treating morbid obesity.'

But he pointed out that OEA was not commercial (sic) available for human consumption and it has not yet been documented that it will have the same effects in humans as is seen in rats."

Really?

Despite the arguably contradictory info on memory and de-mentia de-mentioned above, one thing is clear.

Whatever these researchers eat, it gets converted into s**t before it is incorporated into their brains.
