During December 2006 and January 2007, many newspapers carried stories with titles like the following:“High IQ Link to Being Vegetarian,†Intelligent Children More Likely to Become Vegetarian,†“High IQ Children Become Vegetarian Adults.â€Interestingly enough, two years ago there was a worldwide poster campaign with the title: “What Has Eyes, Intelligent People Do Not Eat.†Now just this has been confirmed by British scientists.SummaryWith every 15-point increase in IQ, the probability that a person will not eat meat rises by 38%. This was published in a new study in the “British Medical Journal†of ..he StudyThe purpose of the study was to determine whether there is a correlation between intelligence and a person deciding for a vegetarian diet. Scientists at the University of Southampton used the results of IQ tests taken 20 years ago by children aged 10.The participants, now 30 years old, were questioned on the following: social status, education, income and diet. The answers from 8170 persons (4222 female, 3948 male) were evaluated.The results of the study indicate that the more intelligent a child is the greater is the probability that he or she will become vegetarian later in life. And a vegetarian diet actually has significant medical benefits. Three other studies had already concluded that persons with a higher IQ often have a lower risk of heart disease. A decisive factor for this appears to be a vegetarian diet. A person who doesn’t eat meat lowers his risk for developing heart disease. (References 1-3 in BMJ article). These statements also agree with medical studies carried out by the Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg, Germany, which showed that vegetarians have much better test results relating to heart and circulatory disease and cancer.ConclusionIntelligent people are more likely to recognize the correlation between their attitude toward life and their health, thus being more apt to choose a vegetarian diet.This conclusion was summed up nicely by Liz O’Neill, of the Vegetarian Society:
“We’ve always known that vegetarianism is an intelligent, compassionate choice benefiting animals, people and the environment.†<mspobj
