Studies like this are loosely based on hardcore evidence, and mostly on patterns. In this case, they've compared the eating habits of people with high IQ's to those with low, and came up with unconclusive evidence. I think for the most part, this studies is applicable to the middle-lower class of America. People who are intelligent, frequently research things applicable to their lifestyle. And it just so happens that your diet is a huge part of your life, and when you learn that eating red meat increases your carcinogen intake, and therefore dramatically increases your chances of getting cancer, you'd figure, meat is bad. [And yes, this is a fact. The proteins and fats in animal products are shown to have direct correlation with certain cancers]


As you may or might not know by now, I work in a health food store. We cater to many types--vegans, those with food allergies, body builders, elderly, etc., and I have noticed a trend, it's typically the vegans and vegetarians are the ones buying organic produce [Do you really think that shiny apple you eat is shiny when it comes off a tree? If not, what do you supposed eating wax does to your body? Same for insecticides. DDT anyone?] and supplements.
