had your cod liver oil?

Remember when everyone had to swallow their daily dose of cod liver oil?

Research evidence suggests that if we really can crack the problem of poor nutrition amongst children, we may simultaneously solve many of the problems of anti-social behaviour, exclusions and poor literacy standards that beset schools.

In a double blind study, prisoners given a nutritional supplement had significantly fewer incidents of anti-social behaviour & violent acts.

In another study, children, including some diagnosed with ADHD and learning problems, showed dramatic improvement after receiving a supplement of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, and Vitamin E.

The kids and I have a multi-vitamin daily + flax/fish/borage oil capsules with Vitamine E. FWIW, we use mostly Quest products.

It's all about feeding "zee leetle gray cells". (H. Poirot)
