Home More 28 March 2006 FISH OILS HELP KIDS BEHAVE By Victoria Ward FISH oil supplements can improve the behaviour of unruly teenagers, researchers said yesterday.

The author, Peg Tyre found that, Doctors now compare anorexia to alcoholism and depression, potentially fatal diseases that may be set off by environmental factors such as stress or trauma, but have their roots in a complex combination of genes and brain chemistry.

In other words, many kids are affected by pressure-cooker school environments and a culture of thinness promoted by magazines and music videos, but most of them don't secretly scrape their dinner into the garbage.
