Researchers in Nunavik, Quebec, investigated the effect of maternal omega-3 intake on childhood visual function, says PUFA. Results showed that higher fetal exposure to DHA, which is concentrated in the retina of the eye, enhanced children's visual function up to 13 years later."DHA in maternal prenatal nutrition may have long-lasting effects in children," Joyce Nettleton, D.Sc., editor of the PUFA Newsletter and Fats of Life, concluded.
