Omega-3 in the News for Learning Disabilities

News reports are cropping up on research studies adding Omega-3 fatty acids to the diet of children to alleviate symptoms of some learning disabilities.

Omega-3 fatty acids are a polyunsaturated fat and one of 4 types of fat. Cholesterol, saturated fat, and monounsaturated fat are the others.

In the link below, the Texas School Meals Program is adding Omega-3 supplements to school lunch program diets. A quote from this article:

"In July 2003, a U.S. Senate committee report stated that "learning disabilities and behavioral disorders have been linked to low serum levels of Omega-3 fatty acids. Therefore, particular attention should be paid to developing food choices that are high in Omega-3 fatty acids." "

Here are a few articles to check out the recent studies and ways to incorporate Omega-3 fatty acids into the diet.
