Mothers, don't let your kids overeat: being fat as child can lead to lower IQ as an adult!
Those who weren’t very bright as kids have a higher risk of suffering from obesity in their adult life.
Scientists have found a connection between overweight toddlers and lower IQ scores, cognitive delays, and the development of brain lesions similar to those who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease.
The mechanism for this is not know, but researchers believe that the metabolic toll that obesity can take on children also effects their cognitive development.
