Specialists of the University of Alberta report: pregnant women who consumed a large amount of fruit during the carrying of the child gave birth to children who at the age of the year displayed the best mental abilities during the test.

It turned out that the indicators of cognitive development were directly related to the amount of fruit that pregnant women used throughout the gestation period. Surprisingly, a similar trend was observed even in fruit flies. Insects that consumed a large amount of fruit juice, better oriented in space.

According to scientists, this pattern indicates that the function of the brain depends on the nutrients found in fruits. Mechanisms involved in this process have been preserved in the process of evolution in many species.
