The learning ability of
pre-school children improves significantly when
they take a daily dose of fish oils, according
to the first results of a new study being
carried out in the north of England.
The early-intervention trial
is an extension of the Sure Start project taking
place in County Durham and follows on from the
recent groundbreaking Durham Schools Trial.
In the current trial 60
children aged between 20 and 36 months have been
given a daily fish oil supplement. Although the
year-long trial is still at the early stages,
initial findings have show positive results for
the children’s concentration and behaviour.
“The performance of almost
60% of the children has improved dramatically,”
said Dr Madeleine Portwood, educational
psychologist for Durham Local Education
Authority. “We saw children whose learning
skills went from six months below their
chronological age to age equivalent in just
three months.
“Some two year-olds went from
having a vocabulary of 25 single words to being
able to use whole sentences, while others were
able to sit down and concentrate for the first
time in their lives.”
