Eating certain foods does actually increase IQ

E.g. fish

Again, you have to be precise with your statement @Mr. Robo`tó

Jews are not that special... except the askenazi

@Monstrous Moonshine what do u mean?

if you have a below 85IQ, everything you do tend to be counterproductive. if you could havbe had better nutrients which puts you to 88 or something, thats impactful and opens up more oppertunities

Temporarily? And by how many points? @ETBrooD

If you want to quantify the amount by which it increases, you look at Twin Studies and adoption studies

Also we gave minorities a lot of money and food

It hasn’t increased their IQ

It’s like

depends what 'food theyve been given' and when and where

If you take twins, one raised in a rich family and one raised in a poor family, they at most differ by 3 to 4 IQ points by age 20 @Mr. Robo`tó

and the money point is obviously true that its detrimental

Well what’s the effect food has on IQ

So environment doesn't have much effect

@Monstrous Moonshine u mention before about it friend, and I stated that the info looks interesting and i will look at it.

also if we just ship in food to an african country, warlords can take it over and the effect doesnt actually occur

something to consider at least

> Schoenthaler and Bier (1999) reviewed 13 randomized control trials in which gains on non-verbal IQ tests were compared between groups of people given nutritional supplements and groups given placebos.

4.8 points higher IQ score for children who ate fish weekly compared to those who ate fish rarely or never

> As can be seen, the mean effect of nutritional supplements was to increase a group’s average non-verbal IQ by 3.2 points and while not all studies produced an effect size which was statistically significant, they did all produce effects in the expected direction.

> Closer analysis of these studies has suggested that most participants in both groups experience the same change in IQ (as a result of “learning” the test) and that the higher gains among groups given nutritional supplements is due to a minority of participants, around 20%, experiencing IQ gains of nearly 15 points.

The second one has correlation, I’m not inclined to buy into it. With the first one it was definitely better but I want to know the long term effects of this. Does your IQ get temporarily boosted or does it actually make long term effects?

Case in point, when everyone is given optimal environmental conditions, IQ gaps still persist

And what does this account for lower IQs among all blacks ?

my point is that with more IQ, certain behaviours will be more or less prevalent

And those gaps are due to genetics

im not saying the IQ evens out and its all happy fun time

Oh

im saying +3IQ points from simply eating better makes certain behaviours less likely to occur

not everyone has to get to 100IQ, but its obviously better to put everyone up by 3IQ points where possible

@Boop / 브파 / C'thUwU What you're not taking into account is that the environment that different races live in is in and of itself a result of genetics

and from that, the IQ floor gets raised, which makes things obviously better

So it's a genetic mesh

Africa is poor since inception

We also know behavioral differences exist between races

im not taking it into acocunt because im not talking about it
