One of the most amazing things
about these micronutrient deficiencies is how common they are. Two billion people in this world
are iron-deficient, but it's not just iron that is critically important
for the development of the brain. One point eight billion
are zinc-deficient, another 900 million are iodine-deficient, and if we could get rid
of those deficiencies... we would shift
the world's IQ positively by ten points

One of the most amazing things
about these micronutrient deficiencies
00:00:04.971 --> 00:00:06.999
is how common they are.
00:00:06.084 --> 00:00:09.409
Two billion people in this world
are iron-deficient,
00:00:10.001 --> 00:00:11.845

that is critically important
for the development of the brain.
00:00:17.183 --> 00:00:19.152
One point eight billion
are zinc-deficient,
00:00:19.619 --> 00:00:22.155
another 900 million are iodine-deficient,
00:00:22.822 --> 00:00:25.592
and if we could get rid
of those deficiencies...
00:00:27.794 --> 00:00:32.265
