 uberkiwi says: This backs up studies of child behaviour in Europe and the UK showing dramatic reductions in ADHD, and general mental well being, of kids taking EPA supplements. So is this good or bad? Can anyone explain please. Wow. I'm gonna have to try this. My kids could use it! That is really good!!! I give my daughter a Tablespoon of Flaxseed Oil in her cereal every morning and for Pasta I use Barilla Plus that has the Omega-3's in it. She's brilliant anyway but she is in first grade reading at a 3-4th grade level and her teacher told me that she has the best handwriting in the school. I think it's mostly that she has my genes but the Omega's have to help. Great clip! In the "Ol' Dayz" a standard practice was to give a tablespoon of cod-liver oil to the children everyday. This was before even the symptoms of 'ADD' and other such "modern" ailments arose. I find I do alot better I take my morning dose. I mix Flaxeed oil in some milk to get away from the texture. Grandma was right. Just some more info because there has been A LOT of interest in this story: The original stories that got me interested in this subject: "Mental health link to diet change" BBC NEWS - Health 16 January 2006 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4610070.stm "Why it's time we faced fats" The Guardian | Science May 5, 2005 http://www.guardian.co.uk/life/feature/story/0,13026,1476219,00.html Both make very interesting reading! Most interesting clip. I am taking since January Omega capsules, and I must say I am having a better concentration when I am doing my (home-)work. Even when my day isn't going that well. And like they say, "Your concentration shows your being". So I would say let's take all Omega 3 and 6 oil capsules and keep eating fish. But make sure you take enough of the stuff, aproximately 600 milligrams a capsule Omega 3 and 6 a day. And don't get disappointed if it doesn't work instantly. It wil take at least 5 to 6 weeks to make a difference, because it's oil/fat based, your body needs first to store a certain amount of the stuff. I would be skeptical of their results. Their group consisted of only 4 kids and no control group. This is not science. Look for a better study before giving it to your own children. 4 kids or a thousand. The keyword is "Omega oil" which is missing even in the intake of adult diets. Omega-3 Fatty Acids * Increases cell membrane flexibility * Cholesterol dissolving properties * Reduces cardiovascular diseases Omega - 6 Fatty Acids * Relieves arthritis symptoms * Skin tone improvement * Reduces cardiovascular disease That's Science! Compared to 98% percent of US High schools and three-quarter of middle schools have vending machines - Center for Disease / Control and Prevention Bill Moyers (PBS) Oct. 25, 2002 stated: America's Children are in the middle of a fat epidemic.
