IQ of Vegetarian Children

"IQ of Vegetarian Children" Okay, so the bronze goes to
hormonal genital meat malformation. The silver goes to a study
on IQ and vegetarianism. First, let me share
a little background. We’ve known for
nearly 30 years that vegetarian children
test smarter than omnivorous kids. First shown in a
1980 study by Tufts University, the IQ of vegetarian children was found
to be about 16 points above average. And their “mental age” was a year
ahead of the rest of their classmates. Of all the veg kids,
the vegan kids appeared the smartest. The pediatricians and psychologists
knew the veg kids were bright, but the researchers noted
that they were puzzled that they were
so much superior. Which came first, though?
The chicken or the egg? Well, for the vegan kids,
neither, perhaps. But were they smart
because they were vegetarians, and therefore getting
all that good nutrition— or did they become vegetarian
because they were so smart? Well, the mystery has
finally been solved—I guess. Those fantastic Brits followed
8,000 kids for 30 years. Measured their IQ at age 10,
then came back 20 years later and asked which of them had
become vegetarian during that time. Their findings? Higher scores for IQ
in childhood are associated with an increased likelihood
of being a vegetarian as an adult.

Smart people
evidently eat vegetarian. They even quote Benjamin Franklin
saying vegetarian diets result in “greater clearness of head
and quicker comprehension.”.
