I love medical studies. I love how they give parents such valuable information and worthwhile data to make us all feel better about raising our children. Like this study from Indiana Universitywhich assures parents who conceived in June Through August, their children will perform at a lower academic level.
Happy Mothers Day To You!
Love, Science.
The study suggests pesticide exposure, which is highest in the summer months, affects crucial early brain development. Researchers looked at the standardized test scores of 1,667,391 students. Students conceived in June, July or August scored below average on the test. I love the picture paired with this article, he looks around 9 months old, it's Christmas, which means he was conceived in the summer months. Just look at him, playing with paper, a victim of pesticide.
Scientists say they hope this information will help change the way we take care of the earth. I would like to note my son was developing in July while full of pesticides and nitrates, I think I ate a hot dog even and he is really not very bright*. Of course I always believed it was because I didn't breastfeed. Or because I let my kids watch television. Science is so helpful to parents!
*By 'Not Very Bright' I mean stunningly smart.
