The study concluded that women who ate more than 340 grams a week of fish or seafood -- the equivalent of two or three servings a week -- had smarter children with better developmental skills.
Children whose mothers ate no seafood were 48 per cent more likely to have a low verbal IQ score, compared with children whose mothers ate high amounts of seafood, the researchers found.
The study, led by Dr. Joseph Hibbeln of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, tracked the eating habits of 11,875 pregnant women in Bristol, Britain.
At 32 weeks into their pregnancy, the women were asked to fill out a seafood consumption questionnaire. They were sent questionnaires four more times during their pregnancy, and then up to eight years after the birth of their child.
Researchers examined the children's social and communication skills, their hand-eye co-ordination, and their IQ levels. They concluded that fish in a mother's diet did affect their children's development.
Oh noes, what to do now!! Maybe eat fishes, but no vaccines, and rub the kids head with mercury twice a week but don't let them use an Etch a Sketch.
