From a story in The Economist and posted on Slashfood:

Dr Fernando Gómez-Pinilla, a professor of neurosurgery and physiological science at the University of California, Los Angeles, conducted research on the way antioxidants and vitamins work with synapses in the brain. Based on his study, below are certain foods that can lead to a healthy brain:

1. Walnuts – Like all nuts, they are full of antioxidants that increase our memory. Walnuts in particular are high in omega-3s which improve our resistance to depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, dementia, attention-deficit disorder, and dyslexia.
2. Kiwis – They are also high in omega-3s.
3. Berries – These too are high in antioxidants. They are polyphenols, chemicals that affect responses to different kinds of stimulation. They enhance long-term memory.
4. Curcumin – This is another polyphenol. It’s used so often in India that cases of Alzheimer’s disease is rare. It’s the ingredient that makes turmeric yellow.
5. Oily Fish, such as salmon – It’s high in omega-3s. In fact, oily fish is such a dominant part of the diet of the inhabitants of the Japanese island of Okinawa that they have an extremely low rate of mental disorder.

Perhaps the folks eating the cheetos and seeing jesus ought to try a few walnuts?

What the heck is wrong with people? Whenever I hear about one of these stories I am a-freekin-mazed at just how many back-ass-ward people are in this supposedly ‘advanced’ country. With all of the knowledge, experience and cultural sophistication we’ve managed to incorporate into our lives there seems to be embedded in so many of us the basic need to operate on superstition. What makes this video weirdly eerie is the one-sided narrative audio – kinda like prayers must be for people who choose to live their lives at this level of craziness.

Can’t you just imagine god listening to this crap? She’s thinking – “Hey lady…I wouldn’t have Jesus appear to you in the form of a tasty snack like Cheetos…everybody knows I’d use bathroom mold or bird excrement strategically dropped on car windshields!
