I mentioned awhile back that fish oils are beneficial to healthy kids. Especially when you are trying to raise kids with a healthy immune system. But there is another reason to pick up some fish oil suppliments. Thanks to Babylune for bringing this to our attention.
“An Australian study published in The Archives of Disease in Childhood, says that women who took fish oil for the second half of pregnancy, gave birth to children who performed better on hand-eye coordination skills tests than the control group participants who took an olive oil supplement. The research sample group was very small, reported the International Herald Tribune in their analysis of the study.”

Thanks for the link.
What do you think of the study? Since you follow the research, do you think it tells you anything new in the grand scheme of things?

I think this research is confirming a few things about fish oils that I have long suspected.

I can testify to the value of omega 3 - both fish oil and flaxseed. My daughter has fantastic hand/eye control and I took it all the way through my pregnancy. It’s also wonderful for hair and skin. These days I slip a teaspoon of flax oil in her yogurt. Flax oil isn’t as perfect as the ground seed but it’s got to be better than nothing. Just keep it in the fridge and not for longer than 6 weeks once opened. Have you read Dr. Leo Galland’s book, “Superimmunity for Kids.” It’s fascinating and he swears by flax.
