Breastfeeding and IQ
by Tim, View CommentsAn article in the Los Angeles Times highlighted a study of around 14,000 children which showed that breastfeeding in the early months can raise verbal IQ by an average of 7.5 points.
The lead author in the study noted that more research needed to be done to determine whether the results were from the interaction between the mother and child or from the difference in the milk itself. I would definitely say it’s both.
Even little ones eat today to live tomorrow…
Out.
First off, welcome. My name is Tim and I like food… yeah, who doesn’t? I like peaches, like in the picture to the left. I am in the background wearing jeans and a white tee with blue sleeves. 3/4 sleeves mind you. I like learning about food and knowing what it is that I am putting in my body. So this blog is about knowing, learning, and everything that goes with it.
