The Guardian reported in May that studies documented in the journal Pediatrics have recently shown that underachieving children's performance improved dramatically when their diets were supplemented with fish oils.
Half of the 120 children in the study were given fish oil supplements over three months, while the other half were given placebos of olive oil. After three months, the placebo group was also given the supplements. Children who took fish oil supplements made about three times the amount of progress in their reading skills than those who took the placebo, making 9-10 month's advance in their reading skills during the three months. Similar boosts in progress were seen in the placebo group when they switched to active supplements.
