If 2006 was the year of the prenatal vitamin, 2007 may be the year of fish oil capsules. An Australian study published in The Archives of Disease in Childhood, says that women who took fish oil for the second half of pregnancy, gave birth to children who performed better on hand-eye coordination skills tests than the control group participants who took an olive oil supplement. The research sample group was very small, reported the International Herald Tribune in their analysis of the study.
