Better hand-eye co-ordination with fish oil

Fish oil is apparently made of magic. It can help with menstrual cramps, combat depression, and now, according to a recent study, may help with toddler's eye-hand co-ordination.

98 pregnant women in Perth, Australia were given either 4g of fish oil, or 4g of oil olive from 20 weeks until birth. At age 2 1/2, their children were tested, and the fish oil group scored slightly higher on understanding, comprehension, average phrase length and vocabulary. The same group scored far higher on eye-hand co-ordination.

No word on yet on why fish oil might be linked to eye-hand co-ordination, and, according to this study's authors, "Further studies are needed to determine the significance of this finding."
