The connection between attention deficiency and Essential Fatty Acids (EFA), particularly omega 3 fatty acids, first became apparent in 1981 when a detailed survey of the characteristics of hyperactive children was conducted by the Hyperactive Children's Support Group (HCSG) in Britain. The survey discovered a common feature in the dietary pattern of hyperactive children-all of them were deficient in EFA.1Subsequent studies continued to confirm this relationship and scientists are probing further to find out if EFA deficiency could be one of the leading causes for the prevalence of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), a neurological behavior disorder seen mostly in children. So far, results have been inconclusive, but many studies strongly suggest that an adequate intake of omega 3 fatty acids, along with a healthy diet, may have significant proactive impact on curbing symptoms of ADHD.2According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), roughly 5 to 7 ...
