Mothers who had low vitamin D levels while they were pregnant are more likely to have a child with a language impairment than mothers who had higher levels of the vitamin

Maternal vitamin D insufficiency during pregnancy affects the normal course of brain development. Could this explain why blacks score lower on IQ tests than white people?

    I imagine that the article is about a language impairment, not an IQ deficiency.

    Crime increases in DC but no mention of the elephant in the room.

    Blacks have smaller brains. This may contribute to language impairment coupled with low I.Q..

    It seems that the article is about vocabulary differences ...

    And yet, blacks seems not to have a language impairment but they do seem deficient in vocabulary ...
