Overweight Children Suffer Reduced Intelligence: New Study
Overweight and obese children are likely to suffer reduced intelligence and a greater risk of depression according to a new study.
The new study, published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, looks at links between weight and cognition among over 5,000 children aged 9-11 years. Baseline indices of weight, including body-mass index and waist circumference, and cognition were taken and then measured again during the two-year study.
The results showed that children who had lower baseline cognition were likely to gain more weight over the span of the study. Higher baseline body-mass index was also associated with greater depression symptoms and problems, and, likewise, higher baseline psychopathology was associated with greater weight gain.
No explanation was given for the observed links between intelligence and weight gain and mental health and weight gain.
OBESITY SHRINKS YOUR BRAIN.
A large-scale study from 2022 shows that obesity in children shrinks the brain’s white matter and reduces the thickness of the brain’s cortex, which is critical for overall cognitive function. ? pic.twitter.com/nsXhfYRI7A— RAW EGG NATIONALIST (@Babygravy9) April 5, 2024
Other studies have shown links between obesity and IQ in children. A 2018 study, for example, showed that children who are overweight in the first two years of their life have lower scores for perceptual reasoning and working memory compared to children who are not overweight.
More recently, in 2022, a study showed that obesity in children shrinks the brain’s white matter and reduces the thickness of the cortex, which is critical for overall brain function.

Michael Cohen: Trump Will Assassinate His Political Rivals If Re-elected
Trump’s disgraced former lawyer Michael Cohen claimed that Trump will assassinate his political rivals and send them to “gulags” if he is re-elected.
The convicted perjurer was appearing on MSNBC with Ali Velshi when he claimed that Trump would go to extreme lengths to prevent “anything negative being said about him.”
“All of these people whether it is Marco Rubio, Mike Johnson, Mark Meadows have all said disparaging things about Donald Trump at one point in time,” Cohen explained.
“They believe that if Donald Trump wins and they are shoulder to shoulder with him, they will have unlimited power which would of course give them the ability to have unlimited resources and assets. One mistake that they are making: Donald Trump doesn’t share. It is all about him, not about his kids, not about his family, it is all about him.”
By thinking they can “hitch themselves to his wagon” and “elevate themselves,” men like Rubio, Johnson and Meadows are making a big mistake, Cohen continued.
“He will not allow that and just like Putin, once you start to get too big for your own britches, people will start flying out of windows, they will end up in gulags. As Donald says all the time, send them to Gitmo, send them to Guantanamo bay.”
Cohen sensationally testified at Trump’s recent trial in New York, which saw the former president convicted of 34 felony counts related to so-called “hush money” payments to pornstar Stormy Daniels.
On the stand, Cohen admitted to stealing $30,000 dollars from the Trump Organization while working for him. Even CNN were forced to admit that Cohen’s credibility, or what was left of it, lay in tatters at the hands of Trump’s defense attorneys.

Trump Conviction Means Little, According to Polls
Polling conducted in the aftermath of Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts suggests the verdict has done little to change the minds of voters.
Various polls, including aggregate analyses of polls by RealClear Politics and FiveThirtyEight, show that Trump still leads Joe Biden on a national level.
A detailed poll by The New York Times suggests that, although Trump’s popularity has fallen by around 2% on the national level, he still maintains a 1% lead over Joe Biden, with 93% of those who supported Trump before his trial continuing to support him, despite the verdict.
Of that 7% whose support for Trump has changed, 3% say they now support Biden and 4% claim to be undecided.
Trump is also polling well in key battleground states like Arizona, Nevada and Virginia. Almost two thirds of voters in Nevada and Arizona believe Trump’s conviction “doesn’t matter,” and as of 6 June, Trump maintains the same five-point lead in both of these states that he held before the trial began. In 2020, Biden won Arizona by a margin of just 0.4%, and Nevada by 2.4%.
In Virginia, Trump and Biden now appear to be tied in terms of popularity. Biden won Virginia by more than 10% in 2020.
“I’m hard-pressed to find any evidence in the polls that the conviction has made much of a difference at all in the public, in the presidential ballot test,” polling expert Neil Newhouse told The Epoch Times.
Experts, including Mr Newhouse, believe that the looming presidential debates, the first of which is due to take place on 27 June, will have a far greater impact on voters.

WATCH: Boxer Ryan Garcia Arrested for Vandalism in Los Angeles Hotel
Superstar boxer Ryan Garcia was arrested for felony vandalism at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Beverly Hills on Saturday afternoon.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ that Garcia was arrested and taken into custody after he damaged property in his room and in the hallway, apparently while drunk.
Video obtained by TMZ and posted on social media shows Garcia, his face covered, being walked out of the hotel in handcuffs by police officers. Although the fighter’s face is not visible, his distinctive back tattoos were. Garcia did not resist arrest.

Police had been called to the hotel earlier in the week, on Wednesday night, for what TMZ describes as a “welfare check.” Police left without incident, but later in the night Garcia was apparently barred from drinking by the hotel.
Garcia has been under pressure recently for a number of reasons. After his sensational upset victory over Devin Haney, he tested positive for a banned substance. He is currently appealing that test result. His mother was also diagnosed with breast cancer.
Garcia has also been in the news for his enthusiastic and very public declarations of support for Donald Trump. Garcia performed a shadowboxing demonstration for Trump at Mar-a-Lago back in April and declared “TRUMP IS MY FRIEND” in an accompanying Instagram post.
Garcia is also being labelled a “right-wing conspiracy theorist” for speaking out about elite pedophilia, aliens and other topics. In a Twitter space in March, he claimed that he was abducted and forced to watch child rapes by powerful individuals.
He has suggested his Trump support made him a target for his recent failed drug test.
Twitter users are already speculating that his latest arrest may be an attempt to silence or even “Epstein” him in prison.
