In Prisons, Replacing Junk Food With Whole Foods Reduced Violence By 80%
In Juvenile Detention Centers, Replacing Junk Food With Whole Foods Reduced Violence By 91%
Food is the most powerful intervention for mental health & behavior. “If You Give Prisoners Healthy Food, Swapping Out All The Crap They Eat In Prisons, There’s A 56% Reduction In Violent Crime. If You Add A Multivitamin, It’s An 80% Reduction. Because They Are All Nutritionally Depleted.”
The same has been done with adolescents in juvenile detention centers with clinical trials. The kids are disruptive, violent, aggressive, oppositional & suicidal. Stopping the SAD diet filled with Ultra Processed Foods & seed oils, instead giving them whole foods, there was a 91% reduction in all violent behavior, oppositional behavior, the need for restraints went down & suicide went down 100%.
Suicide is the third leading cause of death in that age group, it went down 100% — no suicides. “The SAD (Standard American Diet), full of Ultra Processed Foods, excess carbohydrates, sugar & seed oils, disconnects the Amygdala from the frontal lobe of the brain. The frontal lobe is the grown up in the room, the adult — your higher self. The Amygdala is part of your reptile brain, your lizard brain. It’s going to fight or flee. Physiologically these parts of the brain are connected. But what happens if you eat crap, they get disconnected. And so you’re constantly reacting from your Amygdala with no grownup in the room. Which is why we see this level of divisiveness and hatred & all the upheaval we’re seeing in society now.

So if the prime cause of violence in our society is the unregulated sale of junk food and widespread vitamin deficiency, we must accept that our governing authorities are hopelessly unaware of the scientific realities relating to the issues on which they legislate. For apparently, the only action required to achieve virtual elimination of violent crime, suicide and juvenile delinquency is to prohibit the sale of junk food and toxic seed oils. But no level of government does a thing to this end.
Althernatively, the same objective might be largely achieved by massively high (several hundred percent) taxes on these toxic products, plus mandatory inclusion of vitamins in multiple basic food sources. But don’t hold your breath for any action from Justdim Trudeau or any of the other dummies in Ottawa seeking to take Justdim’s place. Meantime, watch out for folks at large and under the influence of French fries and candy.

I had a book on nutrition in the 1980s when I was waking up to the fact of its importance. It mentioned a small study that had been done in a prison (not sure where) where sugar and I think red meat had been taken out of the prisoners’ diets for a trial period and the effect was instantaneous. They were much calmer and life for everyone improved.
In those days, fast food wasn’t as ubiquitous as it is now, and I for one don’t believe it just came about because people are lazy and without a sinister intention behind it.
