Junk food diet linked to lower IQ
Toddlers who have a diet high in processed foods may have a slightly lower IQ in later life, according to a British study described as the biggest research of its kind.
The conclusion, published on Monday, comes from a long-term investigation into 14,000 people born in western England in 1991 and 1992 whose health and well-being were monitored at the ages of three, four, seven and eight and a half.
Parents of the children were asked to fill out questionnaires that, among other things, detailed the kind of food and drink their children consumed.
Three dietary patterns emerged: one was high in processed fats and sugar; then there was a "traditional" diet high in meat and vegetables; and finally a "health-conscious" diet with lots of salad, fruit and vegetables, pasta and rice.

BigFood hits the jackpot when the parents are dumb enough, perhaps dumbed down from decades of eating BigFood shit, to feed their kids BigFood shit. Does anybody still wonder why obesity and heart disease "runs in families"?

Why are they certain it was the aspartame and not something else?
Not all cereals are equally healthy for you. I have faith in your ability to figure it out from there.Quote:

I do have my own definition of healthy/unhealthy foods.Quote:

Industrial breakfast cereals, even the "health food" stuff, is almost completely fast carbs (and lots of subsidized corn filler) from the processed grains, then added sugar/HFCS, then artificial flavoring/coloring/whoknowswhatthefuckelse, preservatives. Almost no fats/oil or protein, so it's not satiating, and quickly digested, so you're hungry faster, want their shitty snacks in a couple hours to hold you over.
Just fyi, froot loops does not contain hfcsQuote:

3. Well, 2 of them (a couple) went to see different doctors; the 3rd one asked them if they were consuming diet sodas on a regular basis; they got off diet coke/pepsi and started to feel much much better after 4 days; they told our friends about itl they too stopped drinking diet sodas and their symptoms went away after a few days.
I don't have one. It's a concept.Quote:

I'm an advocate of the concept myself. The problem always comes back to where the line gets drawn between healthy and unhealthy.Quote:

If it doesn't rot, don't eat it.
If man made it (or adulterated it), don't eat it.

I know I'm being harsh, but the mass majority of people who are addicted to the junk food diet are actually making it more difficult for people who want to eat healthy. They are keeping the junk food industry in business and eliminating choices for people who want to change. It's sad, really.Quote:

I don't really see how my poor dietary choices interfere with your freedom to treat yourself right. Besides, if there was no junk food on the shelf it wouldn't be as much of a true choice, would it?Quote:
