Omega-3s... Higher IQs!

The other day while reading Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan I stumbled upon an interesting report finding:

"Much research into the role of omega 3-s in the human diet remains to be done, but the preliminary findings are suggestive: Researchers report that pregnant women who receive supplements of omega 3-s give birth to babies with higher IQs; children with diets low in omega 3-s exhibit more behavioral and learning problems at school; and puppies eating diets high in omega 3-s prove easier to train" (Pollan, 268).

So from this I instantly think about flax seeds, walnuts, avocados, wild salmon, spinach, and the like. I decided, however, to look up some more information and I stumbled upon this website, which may provide some women with valuable information.

Enjoy those fatty acids!
