A one - and - a two!

This does not bode well for North American society where the majority of us are now obese!

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Overweight middle-aged adults tend to score more poorly on tests of memory, attention and learning ability than their thinner peers do, researchers reported Monday.

The findings, they say, suggest that a heavier weight in middle age may mean a higher risk of dementia later in life.

Reporting in the journal Neurology, the researchers speculate that higher rates of cardiovascular disease or diabetes might help explain the link. But it's also possible that substances produced by fat cells, such as the hormone leptin, have direct effects on the brain.

Brings to mind a quote from the movie "Animal House" where Dean Wormer says to Flounder; "Drunk, fat and stupid is no way to go through life son!"

Of course this was about the same time they came out with the phrase "Sex and drugs and rock and roll!" .............. Stupid me thought they were serious and I did my best to keep the faith!
