Medical Daily (5/16, Olson) reports that the findings of a study published online May 11 in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry suggests “how a diet rich in omega-3s, which are naturally found in salmon, tuna, avocado, and seeds, influences a child’s behavior on the short and long-term basis.” The study, which involved some 290 11- and 12-year-old kids, found that children who “who had a combination of” cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and “omega-3s and an omega-3s-only intervention reported less aggression compared to the groups receiving only CBT or information on aggression.”
