The study at the link below indicates that a diet high in corn syrup and low in Omega-3s might hamper memory and learning skills (compared to a diet high in Omega-3 and low in processed sugars). There are many caveats with this study (it was done with rats, for one thing), but it does suggest the role that certain kinds of dietary choices might play in our cognitive functioning.
