Association between higher consumption of Omega-3 fats and intelligence is backed up by several research findings. A new study at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania and University of California raises question that this link is stronger in girls than boys. Comparison of consumption of the omega-3 fatty acids with cognitive test scores in 4000 children revealed that omega-3s accounted for twice as much of the improvement in girls as boys. Omega-3 fats are predominantly supplied in the diet from oily fish, walnuts, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, canola oil and soy.
