In 2002, researchers at the University of Oxford in Britain conducted a study of the effect of good nutrition on detained young offenders. Recently, a follow-up to this study re-confirmed the results. The study indicated that proper nutrition decreased violent behavior. The researchers examined the offenses committed by 230 participants during the nine months prior to the study and in the nine months during the study. The group that received nutritional supplements during the study committed 25 percent fewer offenses than those who received a placebo. Researchers recorded the greatest reduction related to serious offenses, including violence which fell by 40 percent. Those who received placebos displayed no reduction in serious offenses.
