Junk Food May Cause Dementia

A new study by Tianjin Medical University in China reveals that eating too much junk food may cause dementia. Researchers studied 70,000 middle-aged people for a decade to see how their diet affected their memory. They found that junk food fanatics were 43% more likely to suffer from dementia than non-junk food addicts.

The researchers said, ''Our research not only found ultra-processed foods are associated with an increased risk of dementia, it found replacing them with healthy options may decrease dementia risk. Junk food is meant to be convenient and tasty, but they 'diminish the quality of a person's diet.''

Dear Fonseca

I was at the gym the other night when I confronted a mother for weighing her children on a scale. She told me to mind my own business. I told her that weighing the kids was going to make them self-conscious about their bodies and weight. She told me to be quiet and said she insists on weighing her kids because she wants them to know how much they weigh so they won't become overweight and inactive. She bragged that she liked them being self-conscious because it forces them to take better care of themselves. Should tweens be weighed? Do you agree with me or the mother?
