UK Prison Study To Investigate Link Between Diet And Behavior

When the results are in, you too can eat like a criminal.

Small leap.

They already want you to eat like a concentration camp internee.

"Trials will soon be underway in three UK prisons to investigate the link between nutrition and behaviour. Funded by the Wellcome Trust, the study will look at which nutrients are most important and at what dosage.

In the study, volunteers from three young offenders institutions housing male prisoners aged 16 to 21 will take nutritional supplements on top of their normal choice of food to ensure they receive the necessary vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids to meet daily guidelines. The results will be compared with a control group under double blind conditions. Researchers will monitor how levels of nutrients affect a range of behaviours including violence, drug-related offences and incidents of self-harm."

Will probably validate the Twinkie defense.

"'Our initial findings indicated that improving what people eat could lead them to behave more sociably as well as improving their health,' said Professor Stein. 'This is not an area currently considered in standards of dietary adequacy and little is currently known about optimum nutrient dosages required for brain function or behaviour. We are not saying that nutrition is the only influence on behaviour but we seem to have seriously underestimated its importance.'"

No, you definitely "have seriously overestimated its importance."

Who harmed them? It was the Ronald.
