Study: Fast food impacts learning in children

CHICAGO (WLS) -- A new study suggests that fast food may not only bad for a child's weight, but also their brains.

Researchers at Ohio State University looked at almost 9,000 10-year-olds and measured how often they ate fast food.

After looking at three years of test scores, they found kids who ate fast food every day had lower scores than children who did not.

Researchers say they took into account other variables like socioeconomics, physical activity, and how much TV children watched.
