The Vital Need for DHA During Pregnancy

If America would like a generation of children with higher-level cognitive potential and better neurologic health, then pregnant and nursing moms need to have a diet rich in DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement..  Finding mercury-free and PCB Polycholorinated biphenyls are a class of organic compounds that are persistent eviromental pollutants. Found in electrical components, paints, plasticizers, and much more. Implicated in a number of cancers.-free fatty fish is problematic but not impossible.  Any mother needs to ensure whatever source of fish she may be consuming is not loaded with brain-damaging chemicals and thus have the opposite effect.  The safest and most convenient way to get the essential DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement. is molecularly distilled DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement. fish oil, free of mercury, PCBs, and other contaminants.

A new study analyzed the potential uptake of a variety of fatty acids into the placenta.  This human study is unusual and was performed by giving pregnant women isotope stable (non-radioactive) synthetic fatty acids of various types 12 hours before planned C-sections and then evaluating the mother’s blood as well as the placenta.  The researchers found that free fatty acids of DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement. were highly drawn into the umbilical cord plasma compared to any other type of fat.  The benefits of DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement. to neurodevelopment Processes that occur from birth to end of life that generate, shape and reshape the nervous system. are already extremely well documented.  This study simply proves that the fetus wants DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement. as a priority.

If the current public health regime at Health and Human Services spent a lot more time on promoting the value of nutrition during pregnancy and a lot less time on redistributing wealth, then we would have a society with a lot more people capable of producing wealth.
