Abstract: We show that the effective diffusivity matrix $D(V^n)$ for the heat operator $partia{l}_t-(Delta/2-abla{V}^{n}abla)$ in a periodic potential $V^n=su{m}_{k=0}^n{U}_k(x/R_k)$ obtained as a superposition of Holder-continuous periodic potentials $U_k$ (of period $$, $din{N}^{\ast }$, $U_k(0)=0$) decays exponentially fast with the number of scales when the scale-ratios $R_{k+1}/R_k$ are bounded above and below. From this we deduce the anomalous slow behavior for a Brownian Motion in a potential obtained as a superposition of an infinite number of scales: $d{y}_t=domeg{a}_t-abla{V}^{i}nfty(y_t)dt$
