The long and prosperous era of growing IQ results is now being challenged by dramatically declining results in Scandinavia. This trend may expand to engulf more countries, researchers warn. Contrary to the 20th century trend of nations performing better in tests measuring intelligence (IQ), the Scandinavian countries have been experiencing a continuous drop in IQ in the past decades. In the so-called... 

Ever since IQ tests were introduced in the 1930s, the intelligence curve has pointed upwards – as societies evolve, people become smarter. In recent years, though, IQ levels have begun to decline at an alarming rate. Swedish brain researcher Martin Ingvar, who has 35 years of experience in neuroscience, ascribed part of the blame for shrinking intellectual capacity to television and the overuse... 

According to a new CNN article, fluoride dumbs children down by lowering their IQs! Alex Jones was right after all! Well the solution is easy, just buy water filtration systems that specifically claim to stop fluoride, then take a small sample of the filtered water to a lab or you can test it out yourself with a specialized kit. If the filter is good and truly retained fluoride, then problem solved! Government... 

The United States government has finally lowered fluoride levels in drinking water for the first time in 50 years following research by Harvard and other institutions that high exposure to fluoride can lower your IQ and wreak havoc on your body. It was around 3 years ago, after all, that the government actually backed the historic study by Harvard scientists on the subject of fluoride’s devastating... 

A recent study suggests that genes tied to autism development risk are associated with higher intelligence in people. The study was carried out by researchers at the Universities of Edinburgh and Queensland and published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry. “Our findings show that genetic variation which increases risk for autism is associated with better cognitive ability in non-autistic individuals,”... 

Necessary nutrient: While it’s a mandatory addition to table salt, many sea salts and kosher salts don’t have iodine added A new study indicates that Americans gained up to 15 IQ points after the addition of iodine to salt became mandatory. In an effort to prevent goiter related to iodine deficiency, authorities ruled that iodine be added to U.S. salt products in 1924. The iodine, in addition... 

Ever can’t help but think you’re surrounded by idiots? A leading scientist at Stanford University thinks he has the answer, and the bad news is things aren’t likely to get any better. Dr. Gerald Crabtree, a geneticist at Stanford, has published a study that he conducted to try and identify the progression of modern man’s intelligence. As it turns out, however, Dr. Crabtree’s research led... 

Click on the image to enlarge it Preface: This post doesn’t discuss any conspiracy theories. It simply presents a scientific review of the studies by mainstream sources on fluoride. Why do dentists push fluoride, even though an overwhelming number of scientific studies conclude that cavity levels are falling worldwide … even in countries which don’t fluoridate water? World Health Organization... 

Many scientific studies try to discover how and why some are more intelligent than others. Undoubtedly, intelligence can be simply summarized as the ability for problem-solving, which is constitutional, that is, the individual is born with it, and over time, it us enhanced by experience and knowledge of solutions. But if we are born with our determined intelligence, is it necessarily inherited? The... 

Some people never forget a face. For the rest of us, recognizing faces is not so easy. And those with prosopagnosia can’t even recognize their close friends. Now scientists say the ability to recognize faces is inherited and separate from general intelligence or IQ. IQ is strongly heritable. And one longstanding general thought about IQ holds that if you’re smart in one area, you’ll... 

High-school students here rarely get more than a half-hour of homework a night. They have no school uniforms, no honor societies, no valedictorians, no tardy bells and no classes for the gifted. There is little standardized testing, few parents agonize over college and kids don’t start school until age 7. Yet by one international measure, Finnish teenagers are among the smartest in the world....
