Diet soda
Stroke published a 2017 research on food and dementia in over 4,300 people. Over 10 years, people who consumed the most artificially sweetened (not sugar-sweetened) drinks were most likely to develop dementia.

Red meat and butter
Researchers discovered that 6,000 women who ate the highest saturated fat had worse brain function and memory scores after four years of study.
Chips, pizza, and other junk food
Junk food rots babies' brains? A 2011 British research of over 4,000 toddlers indicated that three-year-olds who ate mostly junk food (processed and fast food) had a modest IQ reduction five years later compared to those who ate better diets.
Gum
Does blowing that bubble improve or decrease brainpower? Mixed research. Chewing gum during a memorizing exercise reduced short-term memory.
