Too much sugar is bad for you, but new research shows that there are other types of food that can also negatively effect your brain functions. Researchers found that meals that center around high fructose do not lead to a productive day.
Recently in a study using animals, UCLA researchers found that rats that had been given a fructose solution had a difficult time navigating the maze. These rats also showed signs of memory loss and slow learning. Other rats who were given omega-3 fatty acids in addition to the fructose solution had a much easier time navigating the maze and showed signs of healthier brain functions.
It is suspected that the fructose-only diet affected insulin’s ability to help brain cells use the sugar to process things like thoughts and emotions. Some omega-3 fatty acids seemed to protect the brain from the effects of fructose.Flax seeds, walnuts, salmon and soy beans are good foods that are rich in omega-3s that could help you have more productive days.
Sugar isn’t the only thing that is messing with your brain. New Harvard research published in Annals of Neurology shows that saturated fats like red meat and butter can effect brain function. There are better saturated fats out there, like yogurt milk and cheese that are low or non-fat . In 2011 a british study showed that eating a lot of junk food actually lowered the IQ of children on that diet. Low carb diets also cause issues with cognitive skills in women. It turns out that chewing gum can get in the way of one’s cognitive skills, affecting their short-term memory.
Teach!
Studies studies studies! Every day scientists are publishing studies contradicting studies and stuff leaving the average Joe in a constant uncertainty as to what to believe. I sure can’t take any of these so-called studies since they are based on some specific samples and have always been subject to denial.
Trust what your ancestors did/said (the Grand/Great-Grand-souls). They were more knowledgeable than modern ‘history’ will admit.
NOW I GUESS IT IS OH SO TRUE WHEN THEY SAY “YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT”?
This research only proves what our Grandmothers and some Mothers beat into us (sometimes literally); to eat the right foods! Our ancestors knew a thing or two about a healthy life. Science as it exists today, has attempted to push its own creations as healthy or healthier, but have to acknowledge the wisdom of those before us. Keep in mind that ALL of the drugs recalled by the FDA as being dangerous were originally APPROVED by the FDA.
So, then what SHOULD I eat?
Actually it’s the chemicals in the food. The GMO Grains fed to animals have caused sterility in the animals and in Europe and Germany in January 2011, April 2012 and June 2011 Dioxin, which causes Cancer was found in eggs and meat. Because of the dangers of Dioxin Germany stopped the sale of over two thousand farms and no eggs, pork or chickens were allowed to be sold. The Dioxin was traced to the Grain being fed to the animals and scientists suggested the Dioxin was either from Genetically Engineered Grains, or chemicals sprayed on the crops fed to the animals.
Scientists have also proven High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) prevent the brain from receiving messages that a person is full after eating and has become a primary cause of Obesity. Doctors studying the corn syrup suggest that mothers who drink sodas and eat other products with HFCS endanger their unborn children and those who use baby formulas with HFCS may have Obese children at early ages.
So suggesting “Certain Foods Kill You Ability To Think” may be true, it’s real the chemicals added to those foods, GMO Foods, or the chemicals sprayed on those foods during production.

Why are we publishing this info as NEWS? The Seventh-Day Adventist religion have been preaching this info to the public for far more than a decade. That’s history to them in terms of knowledge but it is the way most of them live – a very healthy lifestyle the world needs to follow.
Very helpful info from Umojaresearch. Seems like a Think-Tank title is in order. I will look at the references made and share. Thank you.
