Study shows: Be vegetarian, be smarter!
Hippocrates said, "All illness begins in gut.". Another age old adage states, "You are what you eat."
The intelligence quotient (IQ) of a child is inversely proportional to his or her taste for meat. The IQ is a predictor of whether the child will grow up to be a vegetarian or not. Higher IQ kids grow up to be vegetarians and in the process have a lower risk for diabetes, cardiovascular and other diseases.
Is It Leaky Gut or Leaky Gut Syndrome?
Study of IQ and vegetarian diet
Dr. Gale and colleagues from the University of Southampton in Southampton studied the relationship between childhood IQ and the likelihood of being a vegetarian as an adult. They published their findings in the British Medical Journal ).
Tests of mental ability at age 10 years determined the childhood IQ score. Adult vegetarianism was self-reported at the age of 30 years. The study cohort consisted of 8170 subjects.
Results: effect of vegetarian diet on IQ
These investigators found that being vegetarian had significant correlation with female sex, higher social class and higher academic or vocational accomplishments.
IQ was an independent factor after adjusting for other variables. However, the authors did not find any significant difference between the IQ score of strict vegetarians and those who claimed to is vegetarian but did consume fish or chicken were similar.

Alternate explanation of results of effect of vegetarian diet on IQ
Does vegetarianism led to higher IQ? A more likely explanation would be that smarter people tend to have smarter dietary habits and lifestyle since vegetarianism is associated with better health.
Are you or someone you know has vegetarian dietary habits? Is it because of taste or for desire to have a better healthy lifestyle? Please feel free to share your thoughts.
