This study investigates the impact of gluten consumption on the neurological development and cognitive functions of children. Children aged 7 to 12 years were divided into two groups: one consuming gluten and the other following a gluten-free diet. The study assessed various cognitive functions, including attention span, memory, and motor skills, using psychometric tests. Results indicated that gluten consumption negatively impacted children's cognitive abilities, whereas a gluten-free diet showed improvement. Further research is necessary to confirm these findings and provide dietary recommendations for optimal development.Downloads
