Trash food raises blood glucose and inflammation. This biochemically reduces brain connectivity, shutting down the prefrontal cortex (bad) and shifting to the amygdala for a fear/reaction response.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
Werth the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala are uncoupled with an inflammatory diet which is what we're eating most of us in America and around the world what that means is that the adults in the room the prefrontal cortex which is the decision-maker that understands the consequences of its behavior is not talking to the impulse part of your brain the the fight-or-flight part of your brain the pleasure-seeking party brain so there's this disconnection and your decisions are not in your best interest
