Aggressive Behaviour Seems To Be Triggered By Early Age Diet

 
The fact that diet directly affects behaviour is no news, on the contrary, this reality has been perceived a very long time ago, as the old saying "a man is what he eats" proves.

Malnutrition in early ages, shows the study, predisposes to neurocognitive deficits....

But the Oat Bran antioxidants (known as avenanthramides) can suppress this plaque, and in turn they reduce the gradual constriction of vessels that leads to hardening of the arteries....
