Wilder Research,  a nonprofit research and evaluation group, notes: "Recent studies have demonstrated that nutrition affects students’ thinking skills, behavior, and health, all factors that impact academic performance. Research suggests that diets high in trans and saturated fats can negatively impact learning and memory, nutritional deficiencies early in life can affect the cognitive development of school-aged children, and access to nutrition improves students’ cognition, concentration, and energy levels."<ref>[https://www.wilder.org/sites/default/files/imports/Cargill_lit_review_1-14.pdf How does nutrition influence students’ academic performance?], Wilder Research</ref>
