The
BBC's
Science & Nature section contains an
article about a nine-year-old boy who once had difficulties keeping up with his schoolmates in the classroom. Thanks to fish oils and Omega-3 fatty acids, he's now doing much better.
Quote:
But over the past year, a dramatic change has taken place in Elliot. He has soared through the Harry Potter books and now heads to the library after the school bell has sounded.
Quote:
Elliot has been taking part in a scientific study on more than 100 children from 12 Durham schools. The children were required to take a course of capsules with their meals for the duration of six months.
Quote:
“His reading jumped 18 months [over the trial period]. He’s just a lot more interested in everything. He’s even developed an interest in classical music,” says Sheila, Elliot’s mother.
This article was read to my Biological Foundation of Behaviour class by our professor. As my friend shrewdly observed, "
How do they know it wasn't reading Harry Potter that did it?"
