○ decreased risk of obesity
○ decreased risk of mineral poisoning
○ increased cognitive function

Explanation:

• Overnutrition means excessive intake of nutrients.
• "Decreased risk of obesity" is wrong as overnutrition (like excess calories) increases obesity risk.
• "Decreased risk of mineral poisoning" is wrong; overnutrition can lead to excess minerals, increasing poisoning risk.
• "Increased cognitive function" is wrong; overnutrition (e.g., excess sugar/fat) can impair cognition.
