Food and kids' IQ

BEWARE type of food consumed by your child. Recent research conducted the University of Bristol, England, found a close association between the type of food and level of intelligence of children.

Research conducted on 3366 infants born in 1991 and 1992. Parents were asked to answer questions about the type of food consumed by their children at the age of 3, 4, 7, and 8.5 years. Intelligence level then measured by using the method of Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children when they were 8.5 years old.

The result-fat foods and high sugar are known to decrease the level of intelligence of a child. Conversely, a diet rich in vitamins and nutrients can increase their intelligence. (HealthDay/Mps/X-5)
