Perhaps why an Elephant never Forgets...

Today on AOL there was an article about how nuts and other foods help people retain information. Basically the story said that the "healthy fats" found in nuts, salmon, vegetable oils, etc. help the brain to remember things better. The author used a lot of scientific terms, big words, and initials, but the main idea of the story (if I remember it right) was that nuts (PECANS, PECANS, PECANS) help people to remember things especially if consumed right before the person gets the information.

I guess this is why the old saying about elephants never forgetting holds so true...elephants eat a lot of peanuts. Just imagine how much they could remember if they ate pecans!!!
