Fish Oil Fast Fact #70: Could You be Letting Your Child Develop Diabetes?

As a parent, you would do anything to protect your children. However, as much as you would like to, you cannot protect them from the things you do not know are there. That is why it is so important to be aware of nutritional deficiencies that may play a part in childhood illnesses but that are nearly impossible to detect in most cases. A perfect example of this type of problem is juvenile diabetes, which can develop as a result of a deficiency in a child’s omega 3 intake (Juvenile Diabetes Foundation Research Frontline 2007). The addition of a simple omega 3 supplement, such as a salmon oil capsule, to your child’s daily diet could mean the difference between a healthy child and adulthood and one complicated by chronic illness.
