Sexes benefit differently from fatty acids

It appears that girls benefit more than boys do from fatty acids. Presenting their findings at a meeting of the Human Behaviour and Evolution Society, researchers from several institutions in the US said when factors such as education and genetics are taken in to account, girls who eat sufficient Omega-3 score an average of one per cent more in IQ tests than those who do not, whereas in boys the difference between the groups is about half that.
