Everything Old is New Again

Omega-3: Intervention for childhood behavioral problems?
Omega-3, a fatty acid commonly found in fish oil, may have long-term neurodevelopmental effects that ultimately reduce antisocial and aggressive behavior problems in children, a new study suggests.
Adrian Raine is one of my all time favorite researchers.   He used to be my PubMed default search...   He's been obsessed with the effects of neurobiology on behavior for decades.  

But yeah, there's a reason this works...
Omega 3 reduces the effects of endotoxin.

But although that exact mechanism is fairly new information-  the benefits have been known for a millenium, at the very least.
