A study in mice published in 2026 found that an extremely high-salt diet disrupted the gut microbiome and impaired memory.

Is it true that a study in mice published in 2026 found that an extremely high-salt diet disrupted the gut microbiome and impaired memory?

Unclear. Two peer-reviewed animal studies partially support the idea that a high-salt diet disrupts the gut microbiome: a 2021 mouse study found parental high-salt diet changed the maternal gut microbiome and offspring behavior, and a 2026 rat study found high salt caused gut microbiome dysbiosis. Neither is a 2026 mouse study linking an extremely high-salt diet to impaired memory.
