Mom's fish oil intake doesn't up 7-year-old's IQ

How can this be? A supplement cannot make smarts?
"Giving a pregnant woman supplemental omega-3 fatty acids does not appear to influence her child's overall intelligence at the age of 7...

This time, they found no significant differences in intelligence, as measured by a standard battery of tests, between children in the cod liver oil group and those in the corn oil group. Children's levels of omega-3s when they were newborns also were unrelated to their cognitive performance at age 7."
Guess parents will have to do something else to have smart kids - like foster academic achievement.

Bummer.
