The IQ - based market for wet nurses.

Or suckers, the right tit at the right time is intellectually enhancing (the writer is most apologetic that the graphic in fact depicts a left tit).
The C version of the FADS2 gene is associated with more efficient processing of the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids found in breast milk. This may in turn help brain development and function, though the exact link is not yet known.
The researchers found that children with the C version of the gene averaged slightly higher IQ scores when breastfed as babies than those who were not breastfed. This IQ advantage was about 6 to 7 points.
Why oh why is there so much absolutely specious nonsense being reported by the media under the auspices of 'research' these days???
