"Fatty acids in infant formula may boost mental processing: Six-year-olds who were given formulas with long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids when they were babies processed information faster in a picture-matching exercise than did the breast-fed and regular-formula groups, a study showed. However, researchers found that both formula groups had the same average IQ scores. The findings appear in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition."

> It states breastfed babies have higher IQ's, but are slower in their study most likely due to higher income & more educated moms even though breastmilk naturally contains PUFA's. Almost as if breastfeeding has nothing to do with it. *sigh* This just puts another road block in my way for the low-income moms I serve.
