The Purpose of this Study:
To learn the potential role(s) of certain nutritional things naturally found in fish as a useful explanation of the beneficial outcomes of eating fish to some children who were exposed to mercury in the womb.

Some Background, Methods, Results, Caveats, and Other Select Points:

• This peer-reviewed, scientific paper was published in 2003.
• These scientists propose certain new research where these scientists and/or others might investigate certain beneficial fatty acids, iodine, iron, and choline in the diets of children participating in the Seychelles Child Developmental Study. The Seychelles Child Developmental Study is investigating the possible bad effect(s) of exposure of children to methylmercury: 1) in the womb and/or 2) after being born.

A Bottom Line:
This scientific paper is of interest as proposed additional scientific investigations as part of the Seychelles Child Developmental Study.
