From this finding, the researchers found that vegetarian men had an IQ score of 106, 5 points higher than non-vegetarians, while vegetarian women also had an average score of 104, compared to 99 points in non-vegetarians. The study also showed that vegetarians are often women and have higher social status, occupation and education levels than non-vegetarians.

More than 33% of the subjects identified as vegetarians, but admitted to eating white meat and fish sometimes. Only more than 4% of people studied adhere to a strict vegetarian diet and 2.5% are absolutely vegetarian, do not use any products of animal origin.

Ms. Catharine Gale, the lead researcher, said that the study, combined with the evidence of the great benefits of a vegetable-rich diet, scientists can explain why IQ is higher. In childhood or in adolescence, it is related to a later diet, which helps to reduce the risk of heart disease when you get older.
