Key concepts: _Alzheimer's disease_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/Alzheimer's_disease.html) , _Fast food_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/fast_food.html) and

_Brain function_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/brain_function.html)

What happens when you feed a mouse a nine-month diet of high-fat, high-sugar

junk foods? They develop signs of Alzheimer's disease.

That's what Swedish researchers discovered in recent findings published by

the Karolinska Institutet's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. They were

attempting to test the effects of fast food and junk food on individuals with

the apoE4 gene variant, which is present in 15 to 20 percent of humans.

Mice with the same gene variant took only nine months on a fast food diet to

develop the abnormal brain tangles and chemical changes indicative of

Alzheimer's disease.

In other words, to take this out of the realm of scientific language: Fast

food makes you stupid! Or at least it makes mice stupid, and human experiments

have been underway in America since the dawn of the fast food industry!

That fast food makes people stupid is not exactly news, of course: We've

known that fast food makes people stupid for a long, long time. And it is the

increasing consumption of fast food since the 1950's that has helped make the

American population even more stupid than past generations would have ever

thought possible. (TV is no doubt also a factor, and when you combine junk food

and television, IQs fall even faster...)

For example, a linguistic analysis of the recent debate between Gov.

Palin and Sen. ph Biden revealed that Palin spoke at about a ninth-grade

level, while Biden spoke at an eight-grade level.

One hundred and fifty years ago, in 1858, Abraham Lincoln spoke at an

eleventh-grade level during his debates against .

There was no Mc's fast food in 1858. People ate largely unprocessed,

unrefined foods and didn't have their brains contaminated with aspartame, MSG,

vaccine preservatives, psych meds and other toxic chemicals.

In 2008, the American population has become so stupid that the majority of

voters can no longer linguistically parse the meanings of complex sentences or

even understand the implications of cause and effect. Thus, presidential

races come down to popularity contests, short slogans and emotionally-driven

rallies that offer nothing substantive to an intelligent voter.

The intelligent candidate for this most recent election, Ron , was too

" complicated " for mainstream America because he tried to explain the inner

workings of the banking system and the money supply. Too bad he didn't know the

way to win the hearts of the American voter is to speak to their

junk-food-poisoned minds at a fifth-grade level.

It is no exaggeration to say that, through the destructive influence of fast

food, America has become a nation of the mentally retarded. Note that this

is not a derogatory term, but rather a technical description of the brain

function effects of widespread fast food consumption. I am not saying Americans

are " a bunch of retards, " but rather describing the very real suppression of

cognitive function in a nation that consumes more fast food than any other in

the world.

The Romans inadvertently poisoned their people with lead. The American

empire, in contrast, is poisoning its own people with processed foods,

pharmaceuticals, vaccines and poisonous chemicals in personal care products.

The Romans,

at least, ate a Mediterranean diet, whereas the mainstream American diet is

a diet that produces degenerative disease and retarded brain function.

epiousian = the expression of agape

quite a bit more than enough
