between diet and children IQ. Enjoy it.
ScienceDaily (August 7, 2012) - Children who were fed
with a healthy diet
from an early age may have a slightly higher
IQ, while those of
his diet full of junk food may experience
a slight decline in IQ, according to latest research results from University of Adelaide.
Study led by Dr Lisa Smithers of Public Health University of Adelaide is, analyzing the relationship between the diet of children at age 6 months, 15 months and 2 years, as well as their IQ at 8 years old.
Study led by Dr Lisa Smithers of Public Health University of Adelaide is, analyzing the relationship between the diet of children at age 6 months, 15 months and 2 years, as well as their IQ at 8 years old.
The
study, followed by more than
7,000 children compared a number of diets, including
traditional and contemporary
food cooked at
home, babies meals ready to eat, breastfeeding, and 'free' or junk food.
"Diet provides the necessary nutrients for the development of brain networks in the first two years of life, and the purpose of this study is to see what impact provided by the diet on children's IQ," said Dr. Smithers.

"We found that children
who were breastfed at 6 months and has
a regular healthy
diet includes foods
such as legumes, fruits
and vegetables at
the age of 15 and 24 months it has an IQ
two points higher
when they were 8
years old.
"Children who diet regularly includes biscuits, chocolates, sweets, soft drinks and chips in the first two years of his life, has a 2 point lower IQ at age 8 years. We also found some negative effects on the IQ of babies ready to eat food that is given at age 6 months, but we also found a positive relationship when food is given at 24 months, "said Dr. Smithers.

Dr Smithers said the study reinforces the need to provide children
with healthy foods in times of formation of a critical point in their lives.
"Despite the difference in IQ was not great, but this study provides some of the strongest current evidence that diets ranging from 24 months it has a small but significant effect on IQ at age 8 years," said Dr. Smithers.
"It's important for us to consider the impact that is longer than the foods that we give to our children," he said.
The results of this study have been published online in the European Journal of Epidemiology.
