Via Forbes: Study Finds Trans Fats May Be Bad For The Brain, Memory The most infamous of all the fats, trans fats are apparently not only bad for the heart, but bad for the brain as well, according to a new study presented at the American Heart Association meeting this week. The new research finds that the fats are correlated with poorer performance on tests of memory in young and middle-aged men. The authors had previously found that cocoa’s antioxidants may have beneficial effects on memory, so reasoned that trans fats, being ”pro-oxidants,” may do just the opposite. And though the results are preliminary, this is exactly what they found. #transfats #memory #cognition
