A group of American scientists in the course of long-term experiments destroyed the myth about the beneficial effects of rapeseed oil in Alzheimer's disease. Scientists have found that the daily use of a plant substance, on the contrary, disrupts memory processes in the brain..

The experiment was conducted on laboratory rodents, which were added to the diet of palm oil.. Compared with the control group, which ate a different, familiar food, the experimental animals underwent destructive changes, both in the cerebral cortex and in the general state of the body.. Mice began to gain weight rapidly, reaching a critical level of obesity.

The main negative consequence of the regular use of rapeseed oil was irreversible changes in the cerebral cortex of rodents.. Animals stopped navigating in the maze, which they had gone through many times without error before the experiment..

The so-called short memory, which is responsible for the ability to learn, has also significantly deteriorated.. Scientists believe that rapeseed oil is not suitable for food and should be used as a technical component.
