America's 10 Brainiest States

My name is Arturo S. and I'm a recovering addict with now 14 months clean and I have experience at my 49 years of age a new beginning.

In the past I continued to relapse after more than several times in and out of recovering centers....after methodicaly viewing the ways I would feel and physicaly take care of my body, mind and soul I started to see that my nutritional behaviour also needed to have a well deserved change for I was lacking some of the essential nutritional balance that complements a whole change for the better....So far I can feel a better state of mind and physicaly in no doubt feel even youger I'm able to make better desitions which is one of the weakest flows in a active addicts desition making in all social enviroments, indeed omeg-3 and omega-6 balance diet complemented with natural carbohydrates ( fruits) grains and legumes does the body good please let it be known that regular exercise in needed !!!

All in moderation.... Thank you !

Sincerely your's Arturo Sanchez

"America's 10 Brainiest States?" I hate to tell you this, but "Washington D.C." is not a state. It has no Senators, and until 1961, the residents could not vote in presidential elections. This blooper alone should disqualify the whole list of results.

The last time I checked, D.C. isn't a state.

36% of the score was Diet. 25% of the score was physical health and only 24% of the score was MENTAL HEALTH! This is a joke not science. If it were science it would measure brain function. Instead, this assumes that Diet is the biggest factor in brain function and uses that as a basis for determining the outcome. Real science (do we have any of that anymore?) would measure brain function and then maybe look into why people in different areas had better brain function (if that is actually true). I like the part about 15% of the score being social well being - what does that have to do with brain function?

I guess since this is science...that we have to subtract 25% of Steven Hawkins brain function score because of his poor physical health. Sorry sir, but because of your physical heath, you just cannot be that smart. See this study proves it.

In my opinion, you forgot to put the ADVERTISEMENT warning at the top of the article.
