It was new to me that too much food is also called malnutrition, so that was my point of misunderstanding. I always thought that if you ate wayyyy too much food but it was healthy, it would be nutritionally good, but otherwise bad.
Meaning you could eat good, but still destroy your body with it. Wikipedia says that ain’t so.

Try eating nothing but sugary junkfood every day, see if you can focus after that.
Yes, the pre-requisite amino-acids, creatine, B vitamins. Those things have a significant impact on your capacity to think.

There’s a million illnesses that can make you dumber. It’s hard to think when you have constant back pain. It’s hard to think when you’re constantly tired for no reason. So on and so forth.

Fair point, I was thinking of cognitive decline, which is still tru of course with things like dementia. I just wanted a more detailed view on it.
