　　British researchers have found that children's IQ predicts their probability of becoming vegetarians(素食者)as young adults．

　　Recent studies suggest that vegetarianism may be associated with lower cholesterol(胆固醇)，reduced risk of overweight and heart disease．

　　“We know from other studies that brighter children tend to behave in a healthier fashion as adults－they're less likely to smoke, less likely to be overweight, less likely to have high blood pressure and more likely to take exercise,”lead author Catharine Gale said,“This study provides further evidence that people with a high IQ tend to have a healthier lifestyle．”

　　In the study, Gale's team collected data on nearly 8,200 men and women aged 30, whose IQ had been tested when they were 10 years of age．

　　“Children who scored higher on IQ tests at age 10 were more likely than those who got lower scores to report that they were vegetarian at the age of 30,”Gale said．

　　The researchers found that 4.5 percent of participants were vegetarians．Of these, 2.5 percent were vegan, and 33.6 percent said they were vegetarian but also ate fish or chicken．

　　There was no difference in IQ score between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarian but also ate fish or chicken, the researchers add．

　　One expert said the findings aren't the whole answer, however．

　　“We don't know the beliefs or attitudes of the parents of the children, nor do we know if there was a particular event that led these children to becoming vegetarian in their teens or adulthood,”said Lona Sandon, an assistant professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas．

LEEDS, England—A Leeds University psychology professor is teaching a course to help dozens of Britons forgive their enemies.

"The hate we hold within us is a cancer, " Professor Ken Hart said, adding that holding in anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease.

More than 70 people have become members in Hart's first 20-week workshop in London—a course he says is the first of its kind in the world.

These are people who are sick and tired of living with a memory. They realize their bitterness is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themselves, said Canadian- born Hart.

The students meet in groups of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with an adviser every fortnight.

The course, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people. "People have lots of negative attitudes towards forgiveness," he said, "People confuse forgiveness with forgetting. Forgiveness means changing from a negative attitude to a positive one."

Hart and his team have created instructions to provide the training needed.

"The main idea is to give you guidelines on how to look at various kinds of angers and how they affect you, and how to change your attitudes towards the person you are angry with," said Norman Claringbull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project.

Hart said he believes forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people "want to get free of the past".
