It is “our continuous exposure to foods throughout our lifetime that renders diet the most important environmental factor challenging our biological system” (Mutch, et al, 2005). One of the most “challenged biological system” has been our brains, having to adapt to our technologically driven reality at a frenetic pace, including the drastic changes to our food system. This presentation will discuss the role of the changing diet in modern society on our mental health and child neurocognitive development.
