High-sugar, high-fat (HSHF) diets significantly lead to an imbalance in the ratio of bacteria in the phylum Acidobacteria, Firmicutes and Thick-walled bacteria to those in the phylum Anaplasma, Aspergillus, Cyanobacteria, and Actinobacteria, which impairs the gut barrier function, and activates microglial cells in the brain, generating inflammation and affecting the cholinergic system to increase the risk of cognitive dysfunction (58, 59)
