A member asked:

I have always been a good student but my performance has gone down for the worse. any ideas?

Yes: I have seen this hundreds of times. It is closely related to diet, the fuel that enables your brain to function properly--- comonest cause is "sweet junk", maybe just between meals. An article from japan recently reported beriberi (vit b1 def) in a group of adolescents------- from soda pop!

Dr Sparacino and another doctor agreed
