    "There are two types of fatty acids that must be obtained from the foods we eat because the body cannot synthesize them," says John R. Burgess, assistant professor of foods and nutrition.

    "With our research we are trying to find potential causes of ADHD so that nutritional treatments can be developed for some children with ADHD," Burgess says.

    Burgess says boys with lower levels of omega-3 fatty acids scored higher in the frequency of many behavioral problems. Children with lower omega-6 levels reported significantly more colds and health-related problems than those with higher levels, but they did not exhibit more behavioral problems. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in fish and other seafood. Burgess says there are also small amounts of omega-3s in some polyunsaturated oils. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to the proper functioning of the central nervous system. He says the body doesn't need a great quantity of omega-3 fatty acids, and he speculates that in children who have low blood levels of omega-3s, their metabolism may be unable to adequately process the little bit that they need from the foods they eat. "While all children with ADHD are not deficient in omega-3 fatty acids, we believe that this may be important for at least a subset of ADHD children," Burgess says.

    "Omega-3 fatty acids are essential, good for you and kids don't get enough," said John Burgess, a professor of food and nutrition at Purdue University in Indiana.

    Burgess researched consumption of omega-3 supplements among children deficient in the fatty acid who also had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. He found improved attention and uplifted moods among those who consumed more omega-3 fatty acids, though the supplement had little effect on hyperactivity.

    John R. Burgess, assistant professor of foods and nutrition, tested the omega-3 blood levels of 96 boys, ages 6-12; about half had been identified as having ADHD. Clearly, Burgess says, "boys with lower levels of the omega-3 fat scored higher in frequency of behavioral problems," such as hyperactivity, impulsivity, anxiety, temper tantrums and sleep problems.

    The big question: Does taking more omega-3 and other appropriate fats cure the deficiency and improve ADHD behavior? That's what Burgess is trying to find out in a follow-up study. He cautions that only 40 percent of kids with ADHD in his study had low omega-3, so obviously it wouldn't work in most cases. Burgess also says it's unclear how much of what type of oils each individual child may need. Whatever you do, he advises working with health professionals and not stopping other treatments or medications for ADHD without proper medical advice.
