Women With Larger Bums Could Have More Intelligent Children – Scientists

If you are still single, lucky you. This is funny but true, at least, scientifically. Study has shown that women with larger behinds tend to have intelligent kids. Scientists have said the extra fat around women’s bums could help in the development of babies’ brains.
At the University of Pittsburgh, the scientists there believe that the fats in a woman’s bum and thighs may provide the child with extra level of intelligence, when transferred during breastfeeding.

The study suggested that this may be the reason why women often find it hard to shift extra fat from these areas after giving birth – as the nutrients the baby needs may be stored there. Continue reading…

Professor Will Lassek explained to the Sunday Times: ‘You need lots of fat to make a nervous system and the fats in these areas are also enriched in DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) which is a particularly important component in the human brain.

A reproductive biologist at Cambridge University, David Bainbridge, has also studied the female body shape, he said that could explain why men find curvy women attractive: it’s because their kids are more likely to be more intelligent than their mates. His words:  “The brain-building, breast-milk lipids (fats) are largely derived from the fat stored in a mother’s thighs and buttocks.

“Women with larger thighs have higher levels of these lipids. There is even evidence that they and their children are more intelligent as a result.”
