Another for the IQ Abuse files...

In previous posts it was noted that spanking is correlated to a drop in IQ, but then so was having more than one kid. Well, now add junk food to the list. From the Daily Mail (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1354683/Junk-food-diet-hits-childs-IQ-reveals-major-UK-study.html)

"But the 20 per cent of children with the worst diet at the age of three had on average an IQ score five points lower than the group eating the best diet by the time they got to eight, she said."

The worst diet is identified as "a processed diet high in fats and sugar."

By "fats", they don't mean Good Fats like lard and coconut oil. Fats present in processed foods are mostly always hydrogenated and vegetable based.
