Study: Processed, Fatty Foods Dumb Down Our Kids...
Dear Reader,
We all do it sometimes, but if you routinely feed your kids lots of sugary, fatty and processed foods you might be doing more than encouraging them to put on weight, you might also be lowering their IQ. This is the finding of a British study that also saw kids who ate vitamin and nutrient rich diets actually brought their IQ number up.
It's very likely that good nutrition promotes healthy brain growth and cognitive development according to lead researcher Kate Northstone, a research fellow at the University of Bristol.
This is particularly true during the first three years of life when the brain
is growing most rapidly. And while doctors (and others) will tell you that eating
healthy from an early age is important; this is the first study to suggest a
direct link between diet and brainpower later on.
The work is based on data collected from a major investigation of childhood development known as the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children that included 3,966 children born between 1991 and 1992. The subject's parents answered detailed questions about what their children ate and drank at ages 3, 4, 7 and 8.5 years. When they were eight and a half years old the children's IQs were measured using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children.
The team identified three basic diets -
1. A processed diet, which was full of fats, sugar and good tasting convenience
foods
2. A traditional diet, high in meats, potatoes, bread and veggies
3. A health
conscious diet that had lots of good for you foods, things like fruit, veggies,
salads, fish, rice and pasta.
They then rated the diets on a point scale from
most healthy to most unhealthy.
Children who ate a diet high in processed foods at 3 had a lower IQ at 8.5 years old than did those who ate a healthy diet.

Study: Processed, Fatty Foods Dumb Down Our Kids... Continued...
In fact, for every one-point increase in processed food consumption, there was
a 1.67-point loss in IQ. What's more, every one-point increase in healthy eating
translated into a 1.2-point raise in IQ according to the researchers. The link
held even after adjustments were made for factors like socioeconomic status,
breastfeeding, home environment and the education of parents.
The key appears to be what the child was eating at age 3. Diet at ages 4 and
7 didn't have an effect on IQ.
The experts believe that when a child's diet consists mostly of high calorie
foods that are low in needed nutrients, their brains don't get the compounds
they need to develop and work properly.
We're not talking about occasional intake - a slice of pizza on the weekend for
instance, but rather a steady, regular diet of these types of foods. This can
impact cognitive ability as well as cause poor behavior and impaired social skills.
Other experts agree that most of us don't give much thought to the foods we (or
our kids) eat and their consequences to our bodies, let alone our brains.
Moving forward the best advice is to start paying more attention to what your
young children are eating... stay away from processed foods that are high in
sugar and fat, and opt for fresh fruits and veggies as much as you can. A snack
here in there isn't forbidden... a steady diet of such foods is another matter.
To your good health,

Fortune 500 companies make their money by people like you and I buying their products.
But how do they know what we want to buy? Easy they pay to find out the products we like, where we shop and what we buy.
In a nutshell big businesses need people to tell them what products to make.
People like Michelle McAllister - a 34 year old full-time mother of two. Michelle and many others help "big business" make millions, although they haven't got any marketing or sales experience.
In fact Michelle knows absolutely nothing about business, but she does know what she likes...
And that's exactly the information these companies are after and will pay you for.
