I don't think this has anything to do with intelligence. You must read books, go to classes, and apply yourself in order to have intelligence; not run around on a treadmill 8 hours a day.

Books? Classes? What are those? I don't understand these things you speak of.
In all seriousness Frosty this thread wasn't meant to start a debate about the legitimacy of the research, or Alan Alda. Although what you said came off somewhat rude and presumptuous, I am sure you didn't mean it that way.
Also what you are referring to is knowledge, not intelligence IMHO. Reading books, and going to class fills you up with knowledge. You (the hypthetical you) may know every fact there is out there, but that doesn't make you intelligent. You just know facts. Intelligence is, (in part) the ability to figure out complicated stuff quickly.

This is what you posted " guess I just wanted to ask if anyone had any further information on this". You did ask for the legitness of this research. So do not be rude if what you seek is not what you like, otherwise do not post again until you are ready.
