Scientists astonished as dietary pill
transforms children's brains
By John von Radowitz
FOUR children whose brains and mental
abilities were suddenly transformed after
they took a simple dietary supplement have
astonished scientists.
Scans showed their brains underwent three
years' worth of development in just three
months.
At the same time they displayed remarkable
improvements in tests of reading,
concentration, problem-solving and memory.
One boy who previously scorned books and
was hooked on TV developed a love of
reading and declared he was "bored” of
television.
The three boys and one girl, aged between
eight and 13, were taking part in a pilot
study looking at the effects of diet on
developing young brains.
Scientists believe the results are
powerful evidence of the harm "junk
food” is doing to Britain's children.
All the children were classified as
overweight. Zach, aged eight, weighed
eight stone, George and Rachael, both 11,
each weighed 11 stone, and 13-year-old
Gareth weighed 12 stone.
At the start of the study the children
were given a supplement called VegEPA,
which contains a combination of omega-3
and omega-6 essential fatty acids.
They took two capsules a day for three
months and were also encouraged to cut
down on fatty snacks and fizzy drinks.
The children showed an increase in reading
age of well over a year, their handwriting
became neater and more accurate, and they
paid more attention in class.
Studies show that taking fish oil
certified free of mercury and PCBs and
eating wild blueberries improve learning
abilities and it's a natural way of doing
it.
