“Fast selection” undermines intelligence

University of London's newest research has shown that children who eat more “fast food” (fast food) develop smaller intelligence cofficiency than children who regularly eat fresh boiled dishes.

Child feeding has a profound impact on the intelligence cofficiency, even when all other possible factors, such as early intelligence and family financial situation are considered.

The research has involved 4,000 Scottish children between three and five years of age, while compared with the effects of fast food “” to the effects of fresh foods.

Doctor Sophie von Stumm has stated that the results are expected.

The safe reason is that the food we eat will affect the brain's development, but previous research has been focused on the effects of specific food groups instead of on food types”, she said.

This research will help provide strong evidence in various public campaigns, whose purpose is to reduce the amount of “fast nutrition that children eat in Britain.

Von Stumm points out that research has shown that differences in child feeding are also a social problem.

Mothers and fathers with smaller incomes often have less time to prepare fresh foods for their children. Those children achieve the worst results in intelligence tests and often have problems at school.

Similar results have been provided by research in Australia, published this year, which has shown that children who eat “fast nutrition” have, on average, two points lower than their peers who eat healthy food.

And the research published in the U.S. has also shown that children who eat pizza and fried food before the age of three have up to five lower IQs than their peers who ate boiled food with trees and vegetables.
