Eating Fructose Negatively affects intelligence...

[Guest guest]

A UCLA rat study, published in May in the Journal of Physiology, suggests that a diet that maintains a high level of fructose for as little as six weeks slows the brain and hampers memory and learning."Our

findings illustrate that what you eat affects how you think," concluded

Gomez-Pinilla, professor of neurosurgery at the Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. "Eating a high-fructose diet over the long term alters your brain's ability to learn and remember information. But adding omega-3 fatty acids to your meals can help minimize the damage."Fructose

is commonly found in the Western diet in cane sugar and high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the average American consumes about 47 pounds of cane sugar and 35 pounds of

high-fructose corn syrup each year.The primary concern of the study was in the intake of high-fructose corn syrup. "We're less concerned about naturally occurring fructose in fruits, which also contain important antioxidants," explained Gomez-Pinilla. "We're more concerned about the fructose in high-fructose corn syrup, which is added

to manufactured food products as a sweetener and preservative."The study further concluded that a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids can counteract the disruption.full article here<http://www.naturalnews.com/036077_fructose_learning_brain_function.html> Liora Pearlman , ModeratorMom Please consider calling me at 5130 3931 or
