In a recent study that was just concluded, 10-year-olds with higher IQ scores were found to more than likely become vegetarians by age 30.The British-based research studied 8,170 men and women who were born in the U.K. in 1970. In 1980, the participants took an IQ test -- and 20 years later, all participants were asked whether they were currently vegetarians.
366 of the 8,170 participants said they were vegetarians, and the group included nine vegans (who eat no animal products, such as meat, dairy products, and eggs) and 123 people who called themselves vegetarians despite eating fish and chicken. Guess what? Those with higher IQ scores at age 10 were more likely to be vegetarians at age 30, with the difference in IQ points was about five points, according to the study.
