Fish Oil Supplements At Pregnancy = Improved Kids' Hand-eye Coordination
Published ahead of print in the Archives of Disease in Childhood (Fetal and Neonatal Edition) is about a small study which revealed that fish oil supplements given to pregnant mothers boost the hand-eye coordination of their babies as toddlers.

The research was based on the findings on 98 pregnant women, who were either given 4g of fish oil supplements or 4g of olive oil supplements daily from 20 weeks of pregnancy until the birth of their babies.

"...those whose mothers had taken fish oil supplements scored more highly on measures of receptive language (comprehension), average phrase length, and vocabulary.

And children whose mothers had taken fish oil supplements scored significantly higher in hand-eye coordination than those whose mothers had taken the olive oil supplements."


Hmnn...fishy.

Then why don't pregnant mothers just eat fish?
