A+B=Duh?

The N.Y. Times is reporting a new research finding:

"Obesity is associated with reduced blood flow to the brain, a new study has found, and this may help explain why obesity is associated with an increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease."
        

“Weight hurts the brain,” said the lead author, Dr. Daniel G. Amen, founder of Amen Clinics. “I want people to care enough about their brains that they will work to get their bodies healthy.”

And perhaps educational achievement too?
Alabama is one of the most obese states in America.
