So this is why I’m dumb.

The article doesn’t mention anything about testing the same people over a period of time. So, is the junk food reducing people’s cognition, or is it simply more likely to be eaten by people who already have low cognition?

While the result fits my priors, I don’t think the study is worth much, since it relies on self-reported diet, and relies on WEIRD test subjects.

When I do keto there’s a striking change in clarity. Most people I talk to that also do keto experience the same thing.

When I’m driving, I notice dents and cars and abnormalities in road lines that I normally would just filter out and ignore.

If I jump back in and eat a bunch of carbs it goes away pretty quickly. It’s not to say that I can’t see the things if I were looking for them but it’s like my brain just goes yeah whatever.

I wonder If they tried controls on overeating versus under eating instead of just healthy versus unhealthy.

Maybe they should have put the hamburger and fries in the chest.
