HEALTH UPDATE: fish oil supplements could cool violent children

Fish oil supplements could help cool and control the anger of children with behavioural problems, says a new study.
Researchers studied behavioural problems and emotional difficulties, including autism of 28 boys (10 to 16 years old) studying at Eaton Hall Special School in Norwich and found that they had fewer violent outbursts while taking daily doses of the fatty acids, reported the online edition of Daily Mail.
The capsules, made by Equazen, contain omega-3 fish oils and omega-6 evening primrose oil. The biggest impact was on pupils who had been involved in the most violent incidents. One youngster had to be restrained 10 times prior to the trial but recorded no incidents while taking the capsules, the researchers claimed.
