Zachary Taylor – IQ 139.8
Zachary Taylor served briefly as the 12th president of the United States from March 1849 until his unfortunate death due to a stomach-related illness in July of 1850. His term in office was cut short after he consumed abundant amounts of iced milk and cherry fruits while attending a holiday celebration.
Taylor’s heroism in the Mexican-American War retained his popularity. After defeating Mexican forces, he drove his troops out from Texas and despite being outnumbered, they managed to crush their powerful Mexican opponents. Well, it seems that neither his IQ nor his heroism on the battlefield could save him from the deadly combo of milk and fruit.
