Study: Fish Oil May Not Reduce Risk of Post-natal Depression
October 20/Washington/Hindustan Times -- There is no evidence to confirm that taking fish oil during pregnancy reduces the risk of post-natal depression, according to a new study from the University of Adelaide.
Maria Makrides, professor of Human Nutrition at the University of Adelaide and deputy director of the Women's and Children's Health Research Institute, said that the results also contradict existing recommendations that fish oil capsules taken in pregnancy help newborn babies' language and cognitive development.
