The Effects of Malnutrition on Brain Development.
Speller, J. Finton
Cross Reference: A Journal of Public Policy and Multicultural Education, v1 n5 p407-17 Sep-Oct 1978
The waste of human intellectual resources resulting from the dynamics of early nutritional deprivation is a serious social and public health problem. An undernourished child develops more slowly, demanding and receiving less attention than a well-nourished child, and is thus less able to compete in school and in society in general. (Author/GC)
