Vegetarians are more intelligent, says study

Researchers at Southampton University, in a study made on 8,179 subjects, found that intelligent children are more likely to become vegetarians later in life, by the age of 30. The vegetarians recorded five IQ points more on average at the age of 10.Most people chose a vegetarian diet as healthier, linked to lower heart disease and obesity rates. 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.
Researchers from the University of Southampton who conducted the study agree. They suggest that vegetarians are more thoughtful about what they eat. But they say it is unclear whether bright children choose to become vegetarians for the health benefits or for other reasons, such as a concern for animals, or as a lifestyle choice.
