Want to think faster? A high-carb diet might help

Carbs might be bad for your waistline, but it's thought that they might be good for you're brain, or at least that's what this article seems to say. In a study involving people who followed a high-fat/low-carb plan and those who followed a high-carb/low-fat plan, those in the latter group were the ones who showed improvement to their cognitive processing when given a series of tests.

But other than that, researchers found few other differences between the two groups -- their moods were about the same, and members from both groups were still losing weight.

What do you think of these findings? Me, I'm surprised that mood wasn't more of a factor -- I've heard of low-carb diets causing massive mood swings.
