Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids on executive functions. The investigators hypothesize that participants ages 7-9 years with a ratio closer to 4:1 will do better on tests of executive function than participants with a ratio closer to the purported Western diet norm of 15:1.
