Does maternal supplementation with the long chain omega 3 fatty acid DHA improve psychomotor, mental, visual or physical development of infants?

So no clear and consistent short or long-term benefit for psychomotor, mental, visual, or physical development with DHA supplementation of pregnant and breast-feeding women. But maybe DHA failed to help women because they were already getting enough, and maybe women with very low intakes would benefit. Find out in my next video: Should Vegan Women Supplement with DHA During Pregnancy (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/should-vegan-women-supplement-with-DHA-during-pregnancy).

The medical profession oversells the benefits of drugs for chronic disease since so few patients would apparently take them if doctors divulged the truth.

Yes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, but a pound isn’t that heavy—why change our diet and lifestyle when we can just wait and let modern medicine fix us up? Turns out we overestimate the efficacy of treatment as well, the subject of my next video, People also Why Prevention is Worth a Ton of Cure.
Sometimes preventive medicine procedures can even be harmful. See Cancer Risk From CT Scan Radiation (nutritionfacts.org/video/cancer-risk-from-ct-scan-radiation) and Do Dental X-Rays Cause Brain Tumors? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/do-dental-x-rays-cause-brain-tumors/)
I’ve previously noted how an honest physician-patient interaction might go in Fully Consensual Heart Disease Treatment (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fully-consensual-heart-disease-treatment/). What should we be saying? See: What Diet Should Physician’s Recommend? (http://www.nutritionfacts.org/video/what-diet-should-physicians-recommend/)
So why don’t more doctors do it? See Barriers to Heart Disease Prevention (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/barriers-to-heart-disease-prevention).
