What key factors determine a child's IQ?

Factors in the family, including the mother's intelligence, the mental stimulation the child receives when there is a commendable initiative . are the most important influences on the IQ of the child, not must be ADH.

Is the intelligence of a baby shaped by the home environment or the amount of omega 3 fatty acids from breast milk or especially milk powder in beautiful and attractive advertisements?

In the daily milk powder TV commercials, dairy companies always exhibit the ADH component as a factor to increase children's intelligence with images of girls, brilliant intelligence, bright facial expressions. (wear glasses to be intellectual or not), wear a square hat of bachelors and doctors.

What does ADH (docosahexaenoic acid, in English abbreviated milk powder ads DHA, omega-3 fatty acids) that they receive from their mother or milk powder in these advertisements? , there is 'magic' as in advertising.

Scientists have done a test experiment to draw conclusions and understand the reality of what makes children with high IQ.They tracked 241 children since their inception until they were 4 years old to find the association between breast milk and the use of ADH-supplemented infant formula and its effectiveness in tests of intelligence and other functions of the brain.

After taking into account the influence of the mother's intelligence and cultural level, the researchers found an association between the acquired ADH and the child's intelligence.

Catherine Gate, Southampton University, said: "Our research has rejected the myths surrounding ADH that dairy firms often use as their" ad-hoc treasures . "

"We all know that for babies it is best to breastfeed, but ADH, which is naturally present in breast milk and added to the formula of formula, is not a 'magic god' to turn a child. Einstein " .

'The IQ of children has no relation to the ADH levels that children receive as infants. Family factors, such as the mother's intelligence and the quality of the mental stimuli children receive, are the most important influences on their IQ . '

Omega-3 fatty acids, especially ADH, are found in high levels in the brain and accumulate during brain development in the last 3 months of pregnancy and the first year of a child's life.

Although this study has demonstrated that ADH has no effect on a child's IQ as before but on animal experiments, scientists also point out that if in the early stages of life, if ADH is missing, it also leads to problems in brain development.
