My BMI is okay now and I can't remember anything! They should have tested me. I could have brought the average score downResults from a test involving word memory recall show people with a BMI of 20 remembered an average of nine out of 16 words, while people with a BMI of 30 remembered an average of seven out of 16 words.

In fairness to the researchers this is not the only study of its type - in fact there have been hundreds of studies that have examined the potential links between obesity and brain function. It's just that this is the most recently published one. Here's one from last year:
Obesity in middle age and future risk of dementia: a 27 year longitudinal population based study -- Whitmer et al., 10.1136/bmj.38446.466238.E0 -- BMJ

What gets my goat is that pratically everything is bad for us...and i mean literally anything will have some form of study to show how its a potential danger...we just gotta make up our minds what works for us as individuals and go from there

I agree, Ivy!!
And as far as I'm concerned - when I was 19 1/2 stone, it was becoming a mother that turned my brain to mush - not my excess fat!![]()
