Fish oil doesn't make you smarter
食用鱼油不会提高智商

Despite reports that taking fish oil pills during pregnancy can help children's brain development, a new study suggests that the supplements make no difference in measures of intellect when the kids are six years old, Reuters reported. 据路透社报道,尽管有报告显示,怀孕期间食用鱼油片有利于胎儿大脑发育,但最新研究表明,对六岁孩子进行智力测试后发现,此类补药并未发挥什么作用。
In the current experiment, researchers asked expectant mothers during the second half of their pregnancies to take fish oil, fish oil plus a folate supplement, folate alone or a pill that did not contain any supplements. 本次试验中,研究人员将准妈妈分组,于怀孕后半期分别服用了鱼油片、鱼油片加叶酸、叶酸或不含任何进补成分的药片。
Nearly seven years later, the team, led by Dr. Cristina Campoy at the University of Granada in Spain, gave intelligence tests to 154 children from this group. 七年之后,西班牙格拉纳达大学克里斯蒂娜·坎波伊教授带领的科研团队,对154名当年出生的孩子进行智力测验。

结果显示,不管他们的母亲怀孕时吃了哪种营养品,这些孩子的表现并无太大差异。
