  • yes it's all very nice, but how about the toxins in the fish catched from the sea? they're full of mercury from man's pollution which cause many health problems. only man would be so stupid to poison his own food source

  • This doesn't apply to adults?

  • You don't have to eat fish or take fish oil to get Omega 3. Fish get their omega 3s from algae. People can get theirs from plants. Provide conditions for adequate conversion (i.e. good health habits), and let your body regulate its own production of oils. For the few people who have a conversion disorder, epa and dha are available directly from algae.

  • I eat lots of fish. Almost all kinds of seafood in general. Maybe that's why I'm so good in math.

  • What the hell is a "Strap on the watch"?

  • Wow! So many misconceptions in these comments... Consuming more omega-3 does NOT make you "smarter" per se; it merely helps your brain "work faster" by facilitating neuron transmission speed. (Because our neuron membranes are largely composed of DHA, found in omega-3.)

    If your brain is full of stupid thoughts, then a regular diet of omega-3 can only potentially make you think those stupid thoughts faster. But omega-3 alone is in no way going to turn those stupid thoughts into "smart" thoughts.

  • wow

  • @smiles4bieber Because you're bad at math doesn't mean your stupid. Some people are great at math but are terrible in other fields and you may not be bad at math, may be the way it's taught. Me personally, I'm better at math if there's some hard science involved. I rarely make any mistakes in calculations when doing math w/ science but just pure math, I make a lot of simple mistakes. People learn differently.

  • @ericdelossantos1 Asians (almost exclusively East Asian) tend to be smarter because education is pushed so much in their culture. In China, it's almost cult like.

  • I never ate any omega 3 foods(Seafoods) when I was growing up :(.
