Welcome to Food and Behaviour Research (FAB) 

Your go-to place for reliable, independent information on how food, diet and nutrition affect mental health and performance.

For over twenty years Food and Behaviour Research (FAB) has been at the heart of scientific research into how nutrition affects the human brain and mind, and an intellectual and strategic force for improving public education and professional practice in this domain.

We aim to promote, support and carry out scientific research to show how nutrition plays an important role in behaviour, learning and mood.

Exploring Nutrition and Behaviour

At FAB Research, our focus is on the intricate relationship between diet, nutrition, and human behaviour. Our dedicated team delves into how nutritional choices impact mental health, cognitive function, and overall well-being. Through rigorous scientific investigation, we explore various aspects - from how specific nutrients affect brain development to the role of diet in managing behavioural and learning disorders. Our research spans developmental, psychiatric, and neurological fields, offering groundbreaking insights that bridge gaps across disciplines. By understanding these connections, we aim to inform better dietary choices and develop effective nutritional interventions for a healthier, more balanced mind.
