About IFBB

For over 20 years, the Institute for Food, Brain and Behaviour (formerly named Natural Justice) has been studying the effect of nutrition on behaviour. Research has now also shown effects of nutrition on memory, literacy and numeracy together with self-control, impulsivity and anti-social behaviour.
