Long term high-fat diet expands waistline and shrinks brain

In mice.

Also, without being able to see the actual paper at this point, there's no way to draw any conclusion from this whatsoever. After all, how do we know what composed this high-fat chow fed to the mice? I've seen other studies where both the control group and the high-fat group were fed chow that contained substantial amounts of sucrose.

Also, in some studies a high fat rat diet is 50% carbs and 50% fat

By mass or calorie?

Also fat quality issues.

You can feed mice rancid seed oil.

Or delicious, grass fed beef tallow.

Not sure why the paper was flagged.

>Not sure why the paper was flagged.

Do you mean the flagging of the original post? It looks like folks feel the title of the submission here was inaccurate/click-bait and not an appropriate summary of the paper.
