Scientists will study whether eating junk food is related to violence

Scientists at Oxford University: Eating junk food can increase violence?

According to Xinhua News Agency, scientists at the University of Oxford, United Kingdom, said that the impact of nutrition on behavior has been underestimated. They will start a long-term study to determine whether eating junk food will increase violence.

According to reports here, the study chaired by Oxford University scientists studied 1000 men aged 16 to 21 years old. They were from three young people's corrections schools in England and Scotland. Scientists will divide them into two groups. The group took vitamins and nutritional supplements for a long period of time. The other group had long-term consumption of junk food (large-packaged fried potato strips and high-calorie industrialized processed foods, etc.), and then followed them for one year.

Scientists explained that when the brain is extremely deprived of important nutrients, especially Omega-3 fatty acid, which is an important component of the brain's neurons, the brain loses its “flexibility”, which shortens attention time, undermines self-control, and increases violence. tendency. Junk foods have a single nutrient content, and long-term consumption will result in the loss of important nutrients in the brain. The purpose of this study is to understand the impact of junk food on people’s behavior and whether it will increase people’s violence.

According to reports, British scientists had previously conducted a pilot study of 231 criminals and the results of the study were published in 2002. The study found that during the detention period, the criminals who took the nutritional supplements had a much weaker feeling of violence than usual.

John Stein, a professor of physiology at Oxford University, said: "Some studies have shown that improving people's diet can make their mood more stable and they can also increase their health.
