The study followed the subjects all the way from birth to age 30.

" Lessa Horta said the subjects who had been breastfed for 12 months or longer had a higher IQ (about 3.7 points), more years of education and earned roughly 20% more than the average income level.

"It's suggesting that the positive effect of breastfeeding on IQ leads to a higher income," he said. "This is our main finding at this moment."

There is a similar test done regarding nose picking ;-). People that do it seems to be smarter and also have a better immunity. Interesting stuff to read: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/eating-boogers-may-boost-immunity-scientist-suspects/
