Cross-sectional study of conjugated linoleic acid in adipose tissue and risk of diabetes.
Cross-sectional study of conjugated linoleic acid in adipose tissue and risk of diabetes.
Fighting diabetes is key to keeping a healthy brain and this study suggests you can fight diabetes with...meat. This is another study that supports conjugated linoleic acid as a fat you should consider for your health. The researchers examined the amount of CLA in 1,744 subject's fat tissue. CLA is a fat made by ruminant animals such as cows, sheep, and goats and is found in highest concentrations in grassfed meat and dairy products. Researchers found that a greater intake of meat and dairy products containing CLA is linked with a reduction in the risk of diabetes. The researchers propose that the mechanism is CLA's involvement in regulating insulin and adipose tissue. Read the abstract →

ADHD is Associated with a "Western" Dietary Pattern in Adolescents
ADHD is Associated with a "Western" Dietary Pattern in Adolescents
Another large, long prospective trial that implicates a “Western” diet with worse brain health. We have seen numerous studies implicate modern foods in depression and dementia. Now this amazing study from down under. This is the first study to clearly link a “western-style” diet with ADHD. This study followed almost 3000 kids from birth for 14 years. It found that eating more fat, saturated fat, sugar, refined carbs, and sodium and less omega-3s, folates, and fiber doubles the risk of getting an ADHD diagnosis. Kids who ate the most take-out food, potato chips, and soda were twice as likely to be diagnosed with ADHD. Read the abstract →
