A UCLA study from last year suggests that eating lots of processed foods with fructose makes you stupid. Explains a lot about America today, doesn't it?

Seriously, look around at the America today. Now compare it to the America of the 60s when humanity, itself, was moving forward. We were going to the moon, literally! Now we can barely keep our bridges from crumbling. Here’s a quote from a press release about this study at UCLA’s website:

“Our findings illustrate that what you eat affects how you think,” said Fernando Gomez-Pinilla, a professor of neurosurgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and a professor of integrative biology and physiology in the UCLA College of Letters and Science. “Eating a high-fructose diet over the long term alters your brain’s ability to learn and remember information.”

So, everyone, please read those ingredients labels and throw away the vast majority of food with fructose or high-fructose corn syrup in it. You’ll be smart for doing it and smarter, too.
