Gründe für oder gegen Veganismus/Vegetarismus
22.05.2014 um 01:19Dass der Ernährungsstatus eines Individuums bei der Ausprägung der intellektuellen Anlagen hilfreich ist, ist übrigens ebenfalls eine Theorie, die nicht ohne wissenschaftlichen Hintergrund auskommt. Wikpedia schreibt darüber:
Higher cognitive functioning develops better in an environment with adequate nutrition,[19] and diets deficient in iron, zinc, protein, iodine, B vitamins, omega 3 fatty acids, magnesium and other nutrients can result in lower intelligence[20][21] either in the mother during pregnancy or in the child during development. While these inputs did not have an effect on the evolution of intelligence they do govern its expression. A higher intelligence could be a signal that an individual comes from and lives in a physical and social environment where nutrition levels are high, whereas a lower intelligence could imply a child (and/or the child's mother) comes from a physical and social environment where nutritional levels are low. Previc[22] emphasizes the contribution of nutritional factors, especially meat and shellfish consumption, to elevations of dopaminergic activity in the brain, which may have been responsible for the evolution of human intelligence since dopamine is crucial to working memory, cognitive shifting, abstract, distant concepts, and other hallmarks of advanced intelligence.
