Infant nutrition affects IQ and future income

by Robin Nixon on 03/21/15

This from the Economist this week:
More evidence that breast-feeding babies changes their lives for the better

 

FOUR extra points of IQ, an extra year’s education and a significantly enhanced income at the age of 30. Those are the benefits of having been breast-fed, according to a study just published in Lancet Global Health by Bernardo Horta of the Federal University of Pelotas, in Brazil, and his colleagues."

Interesting. I did not know of these benefits in addition to health benefits.
