High-Fat Diet May Make You Stupid and Lazy

[gunslingingbird]

By now, we've all heard that high-fat diets are bad for our health in the long run. But what about the short-term?

A new study on rats finds that 10 days of eating a high-fat diet caused short-term memory loss and made exercise difficult. While the finding may not seem a big surprise, the researcher say it might suggest that high-fat diets make humans lazy and stupid.

"Western diets are typically high in fat and are associated with long-term complications, such as obesity, diabetes, and heart failure, yet the short-term consequences of such diets have been given relatively little attention," said Andrew Murray, co-author of the study and currently at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. "We hope that the findings of our study will help people to think seriously about reducing the fat content of their daily food intake to the immediate benefit of their general health, well-being, and alertness."

Well at least they've finally found the source of the problem, not how will they rid the world of all the amorphous imbeciles they've created? :dunno:

Huh? I don't get it. Besides, I'm not motivated enough to bother reading the story.

Sounds like more liberal media bullshit to me.

Do we really need another excuse to rationalize being fat and stupid other than simply blaming ourselves?

I don't think it's so much rationalizing as it is saying that shitty diets don't help your cause any.

High fat isn't bad for everyone, it's just very bad for about 30% of the population which has a particular genetic makeup.It's within this group that premature deaths and heart problems occur.For 40% of the population fat makes little difference and for the remaining 30% a low fat diet seems to convert good cholesterol into bad.The problem lies is knowing which part of the population you belong to ; family history is a fair guide.

Well, sounds like the main thing American kids need to learn by 5th grade is how to say "yes sir, boss" in Japanese and Chinese.
