DHA "improves early mental ability"

Children’s problem-solving skills in infancy may be improved if their mothers took supplementary omega-3 fatty acid during pregnancy, according to a small study in the US. Researchers Louisiana State University say 9-month-olds whose mothers had eaten docosahexaenoic acid-fortified bars during pregnancy performed better on a test of problem-solving abilities than those whose mothers had not. The findings are published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
