Hearing: violence epidemic linked to bad diet

Updated: Nov 7, 2013 7:02 PM
HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) -- There's been much research on the need for a healthy diet to avoid obesity and heart problems, but a Congressional field hearing in Hartford today heard that bad diet is also causing the epidemic of violence and shootings.
The latest research concludes that too many french fries and other heavily processed foods are contributing to the nation's epidemic of violence.
"Junk foods make junkie minds," said Capt. Joseph Hibbeln, National Institute of Health.
The field hearing heard that too much fast food, coupled with low consumption of fish or fish oil, is contributing to the epidemic of violence.
"When we look at fish consumption across countries, those countries that have the highest fish consumption have 30 fold lower homicide rates," said Hibbeln.
Plus, the research also concludes that if this is not reversed, that 1,800 of the approximately 60,000 kids in first grade in Connecticut today will commit some kind of act of violence before they turn 21, all because of poor brain nutrition.
This is the amount of bad oil consumed from one medium order of french fries.
"It's got lots of toxic compounds in it now because it's been destroyed by the fryer and it will literally change the composition of your brain, or your kids brain, if you eat enough of it," said Hibbeln.
No one knows about Adam Lanza's diet as autopsy's can't measure that yet, but experts can tell from his appearance that he had suffered from first episode psychosis. And that since he spent a lot of time in his basement, he probably lacked vitamin D from sunlight.
"Fish oil, or eating fish contains vitamin D, that's why grandmas used to give it," said Dr. Dennis Embry, Paxis Institute, "called cod liver oil, tasted horrible, but it worked."
The conclusion being if kids eat more fish and less processed food, they're less likely to turn violent.
"Their brains will be composed of what they should be made of and their natural state because the brain is made up of lipids and oils and fats, and many of these we can only get from our diet," Hibbeln said.
The violent trend can be traced over the past couple of decades to the increasing consumption of bad oil versus fish or fish oil.
