It appears that a high fat and/or high sugar diet causes changes in gut bacteria, that cause a loss of brain power and flexibility.

I can think of a few people who must be eating too much fat and sugar.

I probably eat too much fat, but remain, of course, brilliant.

Just think of how supremely brilliant I would be with a changed diet!

Necessary for me to stoop a little and lose a few brains cells in order to converse with ordinary people. Bacon butty anyone?

The research was done with laboratory mice that consumed different diets and then faced a variety of tests, such as water maze testing, to monitor changes in their mental and physical function, and associated impacts on various types of bacteria. The findings were published in the journal Neuroscience, in work supported by the Microbiology Foundation and the National Science Foundation.

Don't feed your pet mouse bacon and maple syrup.
