Telling lies and practising deception stimulates the brain and improves intelligence according to new research carried out by German and US scientists.

"Lies are an essential component of our social intelligence," Professor Daniel Langleben told Brain & Spirit magazine.

"Essentially, it requires more brain activity to lie than to tell the truth."

Which could explain the findings of a survey of 2,000 women by Top Sante magazine last year, which discovered that one in six British women reported to have got away with secret affairs.. According to the magazine's survey just 25% of the cheating ladies' blokes ever found out, while women 'nearly always' discovered their men's infidelity.
