Breast feeding leads to better IQ:Study

Scientists have identified a gene which leads children to have higher IQs if they are breastfed, according to a study. In this study scientists confirmed that intellectual development is influenced by both environmental and genetic factors.
Researchers examined more than 3,000 breast-fed infants in Britain and New Zealand and found that the child’s IQ was an average of 6.8 points higher if the child had a particular version of a gene called FADS2.
Ninety percent of the children had at least one copy of version of the gene which yielded higher IQ if they were breast-fed. The IQ scores of the other 10 percent were not influenced by breastfeeding, according to the study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The gene was studied because it produces an enzyme found in breast milk which has been associated with higher IQ. The enzyme helps convert dietary fatty acids into the polyunsaturated fatty acids that have been shown to accumulate in the human brain during the first months after birth.
Now-a -days mothers are not breast feeding their babies in fear of loss of figure,but it should not be. We cant change the nature.
