High IQ link to being vegetarian

[Empress Yetzion]

Story from BBC NEWS: 2006/12/15

Intelligent children are more likely to become vegetarians later in life, a study says.

A Southampton University team found those who were vegetarian by 30 had recorded five IQ points more on average at the age of 10.

Researchers said it could explain why people with higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was linked to lower heart disease and obesity rates.

The study of 8,179 was reported in the British Medical Journal.

Twenty years after the IQ tests were carried out in 1970, 366 of the participants said they were vegetarian - although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.

Men who were vegetarian had an IQ score of 106, compared with 101 for non-vegetarians; while female vegetarians averaged 104, compared with 99 for non-vegetarians.

There was no difference in IQ score between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarian but who reported eating fish or chicken.

Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher occupational social class, but it remained statistically significant after adjusting for these factors.

Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher occupational social class and to have higher academic or vocational qualifications than non-vegetarians.

However, these differences were not reflected in their annual income, which was similar to that of non-vegetarians.

Lead researcher Catharine Gale said: "The finding that children with greater intelligence are more likely to report being vegetarian as adults, together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on heart health, may help to explain why higher IQ in childhood or adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease in adult life."

Intelligence

However, she added the link may be merely an example of many other lifestyle preferences that might be expected to vary with intelligence, such as choice of newspaper, but which may or may not have implications for health.

Liz O'Neill, of the Vegetarian Society, said: "We've always known that vegetarianism is an intelligent, compassionate choice benefiting animals, people and the environment.

"Now we've got the scientific evidence to prove it. Maybe that explains why many meat-reducers are keen to call themselves vegetarians when even they must know that vegetarians don't eat chicken, turkey or fish."

But Dr Frankie Phillips, of the British Dietetic Association, said: "It is like the chicken and the egg. Do people become vegetarian because they have a very high IQ or is it just that they tend to be more aware of health issues?"

Vegetarianism is a horrible diet choice. I prefer organic meat.

A Southampton university team found those who were vegetarian by 30 had recorded five IQ points more on average at the age of 10.

Vegetarianism has nothing to do with a high IQ any correlation is a coincidence.

Researchers said it could explain why people with higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was linked to lower heart disease and obesity rates.

In the scientific literature, there are surprisingly few studies done on vegetarian longevity. Russell Smith, PhD, in his massive review study on heart disease, showed that as animal product consumption increased among some study groups, death rates actually decreased! Such results were not obtained among vegetarian subjects. For example, in a study published by Burr and Sweetnam in 1982, analysis of mortality data revealed that, although vegetarians had a slightly (.11%) lower rate of heart disease than non-vegetarians, the all-cause death rate was much higher for vegetarians.

Prolly cause I aint givin up baloney sammiches any time soon, lol

Killer whales and dolphins, chimps and other creatures considered "smart" are either carnivorous or omnivorous, prolly because they have to outthink they prey. Makes sense to me. Elephants have a lot of brain power; they are seent to remember important landmarks etc in their wide range where they seek food and water, but they are vegetarian. So much for exceptions.

People? Hell, in the black community, Imperialism makes sure that those smart kids who don't wind up being servile flunkies of capitalism turn into dope addicts or alkies. Too few fly under the radar and go on to become revolutionaries. So much for the pollsters, they can take their poll and shove it!

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is agreeing that they have a great interest in the Community being the health model for the world and being an example for

And no one has had a heart attack, and not ever one case of aids. Some medical centers in the U.S. have investigated the lifestyle of our Community and determined that we succeeded to triumph in being victorious over heart disease and problems of high blood pressure because of our healthy lifestyle."

Did you get these facts from this site Myths and Truths About Vegetarianism

looks like you have bruv … well any way these so called Phd’s are all Caucasoids so the study is based on their biology not on melanated people’s physiology. If you like meat just say so but I don’t think it’s good to use Caucasian ignorance to justify your preference for carrion. Why don’t you study Dr Laila Africa or Dr. Jewel Pookrum? I’m sure your perspective will change.

Best of health to you …you’re going to need it
