Omega-3s fuel kindness? Children who eat fish regularly are friendlier

Study Finds ^ | March 13, 2025 | Staff

Well, that explains the Vikings, the Imperial Japanese and the Andaman Island Tribes....................

A recent study has found that recent studies are overrated and that too many people mistake correlation for causation.

Maybe it’s due to iodine, not omega 3s.

[Larry Lucido]

Nah it’s the mercury.

[Red Badger]

A recent study has found that people pay more attention to a news item if you begin by saying, “A recent study has found that ...”...................

[Qwapisking]

a recent study also suggests that people who fish are generally calmer and happier that those who don’t.

More fish…the key to less Democrats.

This is ridiculous. Science needs to be picked up and have all the lint, liars, cherry picked data to support a cherished hypothesis knocked out of it. A little common sense and a refusal to pretend mutifactoral causation can be ignored wouldn’t hurt.

Sounds like typical correlation causation confusion.

I did not see anything to indicate if they took income or social status into consideration.

Do lower income parents eat less fish?

Do people on the dole eat less fish?

Do single mothers feed their children less fish?

Without taking those possibilities into consideration, the study is junk.

Nah it’s the mercury.

And they're hoping if they're nicer, they'll get something better to eat.

[AndyTheBear]

Think the results were fishy?

re: Maybe it’s due to iodine, not omega 3s.

Could be both, as both are materially deficient in modern settler populations, including nursing moms.

I'm a consumer of a higher dose fish oil. I'd prefer to get it all from actual seafood, but that is dangerous in the modern world, due to the modern marine toxins problem, principally mercury.

The fish oil supplement market is a separate minefield.

[Mr Rogers]

Is it eating the seafood, or being in a family that tries to eat “healthy” and cares about their kids?

Another “Wet sidewalks cause rain” type study. Science has become an empty shell.

[Reeses]

Sounds like typical correlation causation confusion.

Further, biological systems rarely have smooth and predictable mathematical relationships between any two variables. All models are wrong, but models that have simple relationships aren't even close to being useful.

Children who eat fish at this point come from wealthier families, who tend to teach their children strong social skills.

...people who fish are generally calmer and happier...

The only thing I catch is me. Fishing hurts and sometime requires a trip to the emergency room. Shooting, on the other hand, serves me well.

Friendlier.....BECAUSE THEY WANT YOUR BACON!!!!

[napscoordinator]

I eat fish about 6 fridays and one Wednesday a year for lent in a fried fish and chip version. I hate fish but will sacrifice during lent.

How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your fish?
