Researchers at Bristol University in Britain have discovered that feeding your children Junk Food can actually lower their IQ. 14,000 children born from 1991 to 1992 in western England were monitored at ages three, four and a half, seven and again at age 8. It was found that a poor diet during the early developmental years could in fact lead to a lower IQ by the age of eight. The children consuming the diet of processed foods scored an average of 101 IQ points; whereas, those consuming the healthier diet of fruits, vegetables, pasta and rice scored an average of 106 IQ points. IQ point scoring fell by 1.67 for each increase on the chart that reflected the amount of processed fat they consumed. (see video)If I only I knew back then what I know now, I would have nothing to do with Junk Food. Merely hanging out with JF has made me less smart? I could have been a rocket scientist, brain surgeon, or found a cure for cancer. I wonder if Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg ever liked Junk Food when they were kids. We all know about Former President, Clinton's tragic love affair with Junk Food that landed him in the hospital with heart surgery. But what about Oprah? She and Junk Food are on and off all the time, but she remains one of the smartest women on the planet! I am not sure about the accuracy of the study, but I know that getting married to Junk Food was the stupidest thing I've ever done in my life.
