It's probably the high blood pressure that helps the fighter pilots. I've always heard it was easier to keep the blood in your brain with all the G's those guys pull with an elevated blood pressure. But what do I know, I'm just a doctor. (Gilmore reference)

Sooooooo basically, if one eats a lot of food, they do well at stuff. Now THAT's SCIENCE! All it took was a 5% increase in tuition! Money well spent guys! Keep up the good work!
That was the surprising finding of a new military-funded study that sought to figure out what types of foods were best for pilots when missions restricted when or what they could eat. UND researchers found that pilots who ate the fattiest foods such as butter or gravy had the quickest response times in mental tests and made fewer mistakes when flying in tricky cloud conditions. |

Was this the same university that came out with the study that revealed that over consumption of alcohol leads to risky sexual behavior?

I was a part of this study too- I remember seeing the flyer advertising free food and sim hours... to a college kid the idea of free food for almost a month was a no brainer! Interesting to see the results- I'd not heard anything about it til now.
