People with an IQ of 110 were two-and-a-half times more likely to avoid eating meat, the lead author of the study, Catherine Gale of the

University of Southampton, said in a telephone interview. Researchers studied more than 8,000 men and women, and found vegetarians were more likely to be women, belong to a higher social class, and have higher educational degrees. "If you are bright, you are more likely to understand health information and more likely to act on it," Gale, a senior research fellow, said. The results backed up findings that intelligence is associated with lower rates of heart disease. Source > http://www.deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,650215488,00.html Do You ?
