Processed foods linked with lower IQ in children:study

Morning Guys,

Guess what, I found another reason why we shouldn't eat foods high in fat and sugars. This study suggests that children who have diets high in fat and sugars have a lower IQ at age 8.5 than their counterparts who had diets high in nutrients and vitamins.

The study believes that from birth to the age of three is the optimum time that children should be taking in these nutrients. After age three their diets have been shown to have no impact on their IQ growth.

Furthermore, some studies have suggested that when pregnant, expectant mothers should be ingesting these nutrients and vitamins to help in the progression of brain development for their fetus.

Read and enjoy!!!

  1. What a really scary correlation! However, this does seem fairly reasonable. I think this study gives us another incentive for eating healthier and educating both children and adults about the importance of eating well.
