MOTHER'S MILK AND IQ

摘要

The fatty acids in human milk may boost IQ. Breast-fed infants with at least one copy of a common variant of the gene FADS2 had IQ scores that were six to seven points higher than those of non-nursed kids with similar genetics. But breast-feeding did not appear to affect those children (10 percent of the study population) with only a less common version of FADS2.
