According to the Daily Mail a test called the Apgar test has been carried out on 977,000 Swedish babies and then cross referenced with their results in exams as teenagers.
Apparently the test looks at the babies heart rate, muscle tone, skin colour and reflex irritability and provides a score out of 10. Scores of 8 and above are a sign of good health, whilst following this "research" scores of 7 or under mean the child scored very poorly later on in life.
They try and make it all better by adding "only 1 in 44 that had a low score needed special help".
Does that mean that out of 877,000 only 44 scored 7 or under anyway !! that equestes to 0.005% what a load of nonense.
I am starting to disbelieve if these scientists even exist or does the daily mail just make it up for the fun of it, they seem to run ridiculous health story after ridiculous health story.
Loved one of the comments on the bottom "What did Stephen Hawkins score"?
