素食会使您的孩子更聪明

亲爱的朋友:

您了解吗？ 澳洲当局测验当地小学的儿童智商，结果最聪明的小学是「阿南达玛迦的小学」一所素食的学校。

没错！在新时代来临的这个时候，科学家已经注意到食物本身的能量和磁场会对食用者造成影响，鉴于狂牛病、口啼疫、SARS、禽流感、猪流感…的盛行，和动物相关的病愈来愈多！！似乎要让我们思考一下，是否该是改变饮食习惯的时候了？

长久以来错误的观念－－吃素没营养，真是大错特错！！君不见，最高大的动物如牛、象、长颈鹿…都是吃素的?！另外，拳王阿里亦是茹素一族，他可是用力最多的人呢！

另一种错误的观念－吃素不聪明，看看附上的茹素的诺贝尔奖得主（泰戈尔、爱因斯坦、萧伯纳、史怀哲…），这句话亦是不攻自破!!著名艺术家如达文西，发明家牛顿，富兰克林，爱迪生，全部都是茹素终生!!

研究发现：素食者智商较高

Research shows that meat consumption may also adversely affect children’s mental abilities in both the short and the long term and indicates that a meat-free diet can give children an academic edge in their grade school years. A study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that while American children have an average I.Q. of 99, the average I.Q. of vegetarian American children is 116.

《美国营养学会期刊》中的一份研究结果发现，全美儿童的平均智商是99，不过全美素食儿童的平均智商却高达116.24！

美国有一位著名的“儿童素食”提倡者安东尼亚．德玛斯博士（Dr. Antonia Demas），曾协助12个州内的60所学校推行素食计划，参加的学生在健康、成绩和行为等方面都有很显著的改善。
Dr. Antonia Demas, a world-renowned researcher and president of the Food Studies Institute, is a long-time advocate of a meat-free diet for children. Dr. Demas’ “Food Is Elementary” nutritional program now provides healthy, plant-based foods to kids in 60 schools in 12 states. One school district in Florida that implemented the program was astounded by the positive changes it saw when the students at Bay Point School eliminated meat from their diets.

最神奇的一位学生改变饮食，成为素食者后，GPA从1.6狂升到3.4...
According to an article published in The Miami Herald, some students experienced substantial increases in their grades after they went vegetarian—one former carnivore saw his G.P.A. leap from a 1.6 to a 3.4! Speaking about his new meat-free diet, one student says, “I’d look at a rib, and I’d look at a vegetable, and I’d think, ‘Why is my mind picking the vegetable?’” Another student at the school noted that his vegetarian diet gave him the energy to wake up earlier, adding, “I never knew chickens and cows had so many hormones. Now, everything I eat is natural.”

德玛斯博士亦成立一个“食品研究学会”的组织，并着手设计对所有参加素食计划的学生进行更全面性的研究。如果这个研究结果能明确证实素食的益处，那就很可能会对国内或甚至国际间产生更广泛的影响。
