[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 1993, member: 1"] [URL='https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-03-junk-food-young-brains.html'][B]Junk food orders up trouble for young brains - Medicalxpress[/B][/URL] That teenager in your kitchen feasting on fast food, candy bars and pop might not be able to help themselves—all the more reason for adults to help them before they cause long-term damage to their developing brains. In a new study, Western researchers Cassandra Lowe, J. Bruce Morton and Amy Reichelt highlighted adolescence as a period of "dual susceptibility." While teen brains are still developing decision-making capabilities, their limited restraint and heightened reward system make them more prone to eating poorly, which in turn may lead to negative changes in the brain. These findings, according to researchers, show the importance of changing behaviors and helping adolescents form healthy habits early on to minimize these changes. [/QUOTE]
