Curvy Girls ARE Smarter

I am not usually a fan of Fox News, but that's where I found this story. According to studies at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of California, Santa Barbara, women who have waists smaller than their hips score better on cognitive tests then their leaner counterparts. The study also found that the children of curvy women also do well on cognitive tests. The link to the article on The Sunday Times Online points out that it's not about weight, but body shape. "Such women are not necessarily skinny. What is important is that their waist should be smaller than their hips, with the ideal ratio being between 0.6 and 0.7"

Thank you, Fox News, for reporting on this on a day when I needed to be reminded that curves have their benefits.
