News items on 'Fish Oils'
Eating 'brain food' fish may not benefit Alzheimer's patients
(The Scotsman 13/07/2009)
In a six month-long trial, a DHA manufacturer tested one of its (fish oil) products on a group of 485 healthy people. The study found an improvement in one test of memory and learning. Another trial compared the effects of DHA and a dummy placebo on 402 volunteers with an average age of 76 who had been diagnosed with mild to moderate Alzheimer's. But at the end of the study period there was no evidence that omega-3 supplements improved participants' memory and mental performance scores.
