Nutrition and Behavior Aspartame (Lecture)
In this lecture, Dr. Russell Blaylock explains one of the most important connections between nutrition and our health, how nutrition affects our behavior.
Citing a series of important studies, he shows that good nutrition can powerfully enhance our memory, mood, and behavior in a socially desirable way.
Like wise he shows us that poor nutrition can lead our youth into a world of violence, crime, depression and suicide.
By using an impressive array of studies on both juvenile and adult prisoners, Dr. Blaylock demonstrates these principals and outlines specific measures you can take to protect your children from these detrimental effects. Most importantly, he shows us that it is never too late to make these nutritional changes.

Amazing! Good info. A good diet can really help control your children and prepare them for a better life. Childcare and husbandcare are full-time jobs!

Excellent presentation and I learnt a lot! It really shows the correlation between sugars and other stuff and behavior. I will change my diet habbits from now on proactively. I am going to give up on sodas completely (I don’t drink this daily) and sweet drinks and drink water only (which I find hard to do) and foods that contains much sugar, msg (here we have lots of this in our sauces and foods), artificial sweeteners, food with dyes and basically all junk food. I don’t need the occassional chocolates, cookies, pastries, chips!!! I am quite motivated to change my eating habits after viewing this documentary/presentation. I would rather have a great brain function than anything else!!!

Good for you Karenep! But don’t be afraid of drinking real fruit juice, in moderation, it contains flavonoids which are strong antioxidants.

Good lecture, however I am wondering, if all the evils come from a industrialized and fast-food driven society, how is it that we have still all the criminal acts, cruelty, diseases in areas like Africa where fast food, MSG, HFCS and other stuff is almost abundant?

Alex, of course good nutrition doesn’t solve all problems, but it’s the best way to stay healthy. There will still be diseases and there will always be a need for medicin. Many diseases can be avoided, like diabetes, if you avoid sugar and junk food, but others have nothing to do with nutrition. It’s also clear that agression and other forms of behavior have a lot to do with blood sugar levels, but a psychopath will not change behavior because of a food change. Neither will all mental problems just disappear because of diet changes, but research does in fact suggest a connection there, and that should be researched further. Criminal acts because of hatred or social/economical reasons isn’t something easily fixed with diet, but I do believe there would be less violence with better nutrition and less alcohol.

After watching this I’m really glad my mom was a “health food nut” who wouldn’t let me have processed foods or anything with MSG, preservatives, artificial flavors or colors when I was growing up. I wasn’t even allowed to have Cheerios because there was sugar in them, and unless it was a holiday the closest thing I got to soda was plain Calistoga water. I used to beg and plead and argue because I just wanted to have “normal” food like the other kids, but now I’m thankful she never gave in. I was an A student and very rarely sick but until I saw this lecture I never really attributed it to diet. Like Falcon said, there are certainly other factors, but diet is one of the easiest to control. Thanks Mom!

I have been receiving Dr. Blaylocks’ newsletters for the past couple of years. I have the DVD of this lecture and I never tire of watching it. I learn something new each time I view it. I also have his book Health and Nutrition Secrets that can save your life. It is a very in-depth helpful book. I grew up on a high fat, low nutrient, processed food diet. I have had so many positive changes in my health as I learn and apply the wisdom I have gained by following the advice given by Dr. Blaylock. I am very grateful for all the work and research he puts into learning about nutrition!

This was a very interesting talk. Unfortunately I had to suffer alot from family members who had poor nutrition and ETOH consumption in excess….it seemed as though they had no conscience as to how they treated others. Nutrition, yes, is a factor, but they started out with not a good moral spirtual foundation to build on. It’s complex to change that…when the morals issue is not there..forget reasoning with a diet. It would be a miracle if such types would listen to such a talk.

I started looking into nutrition as an amateur to help beat depression. I reckon under stress we turn to booze, cigarettes and lots and lots of coffee, (with sugar) skip meals and consume junk food, and OH… how I LOVE sugar!!!
My own humble research is (encouragingly) supported by this excellent video, and the change in diet has definitely had an impact on my health. (I am my own guinea pig)
Alex, re. your question, I don’t believe poor diet is just because of technology, some places are just short of any kind of food, far less good nutritious foods. Even in the midst of plenty the key is knowledge, knowing what to eat. We eat what we like, or what we were given by our parents.
Often the “west” gets its cheap produce from poor countries where the land is given over to produce monocultured crops, like sugar cane, or pineapples or mangoes or bananas.
