Research Proven Impacts of Eating Fishes on Children’s Intelligence and Development
Based on the results of eight studies, eating the right type of fish (or fish oil supplements) without neurotoxicity or pollutants is beneficial for intellectual development, higher school grades, visual function, and even the management of childhood psychiatric disorders.
However, eating fish with high levels of mercury may lead to delayed mental development and lower test scores. Even so, one study found that few children in the US have been overly exposed to mercury in this upper range, causing negative impacts on their neuropsychological functioning.
