Study Says Fish Can Make Unborn Children Smarter

A new medical report is surprising and confusing mothers-to-be.For years, pregnant women have been told to avoid eating certain types of fish because they may contain high levels of harmful mercury. But this new study claims eating fish can help boost the IQ of unborn babies.The study, led by Dr. Joseph Hibbeln of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, found that women who had eaten no fish were more likely to have babies with poor communication skills at 18 months, poor fine motor coordination at age 3½, and poor social behavior at age 7.
