This study provides yet more evidence for the safety and benefit of regular fish consumption during pregnancy. Other proven benefits include lower risk for preterm birth and improved cognitive development.
About a quarter of the pregnant participants didn’t consume any fish, despite being advised to eat 8 to 12 ounces weekly to aid fetal brain development.
Consumption of omega-3 or fish oil supplements during pregnancy was not associated with autism diagnosis or autism-related traits, contrary to regular fish intake.
The research highlighted that essential omega-3 nutrients are crucial for heart, brain, and eye function, and rely on dietary sources like fish.
