Pregnant women eat a lot of fruit, their children will be smart

Mothers who eat a lot of fruit during pregnancy can help increase their children's cognitive development after birth.

Pediatric experts at the University of Alberta School of Medicine and Dentistry (Canada) analyzed data on more than 3,500 children and parents.

After eliminating factors that could affect children's learning and development such as family income, parents' education, and the child's gestational age, they found that mothers who ate 6-7 servings of fruit or fruit juice per day during pregnancy had children who scored higher on intelligence quotient (IQ) tests when they were 1 year old than children whose mothers ate less fruit.

To further confirm this, researchers working with geneticists analyzing fruit fly models also found that fruit fly offspring born from mother fruit flies fed a diet rich in fruit juice had better “memory” of their flight paths./.
