Lammi-Keefe presents paper in Milan, Italy, on the benefits of fish oil consumption by pregnant women
Carol Lammi-Keefe, head of Human Nutrition & Food in the School of Human Ecology, made a presentation in Milan, Italy, during a meeting of pediatricians and scientists Nov. 18-21 on functional foods containing fish oil. Her research has found that if pregnant women consume fish oil, their babies develop a more mature nervous system earlier than pregnant women who do not consume fish oil. These babies have problem-solving skills at 9 months and better vision at 4 months of age.
