Research

So I’m reading this study on Low- Carb diets conducted by Tufts University which suggests that Low Carb diets cause memory loss, and I’m a bit freaked out initially, because there are times when I can be forgetful. However, if it was affecting my memory and cognitive skills then I would be performing poorly in school, and I’m not; I get mostly “A”s and sometimes “B’s, never a “C” and I don’t put that much effort. I also took the Stanford-Binet IQ test(the real deal) last week and scored 120, so I don’t think I’m anywhere near stupid, BTW stupid is a score less than 85.

As someone who is compelled to read numerous research studies I have to say that one much be skeptical when considering the motives behind some studies, especially, who is funding the study? Further, this study was too short and the size way too small, and there was hardly any background information on the subjects.
Personally, I have found that I am more alert and awake, and paying attention when I stay off the grains, now remember my diet does consist of legumes, and lots of vegetables.
I further researched this topic of memory and low carb diets and came up with another opinion which I quite liked; you can check it out too. http://www.jonnybowden.com/2009/01/low-carb-diets-cause-memory-loss-not-so.html
