Fish Oil Fails: Do Superfishy Pills Really Make Us Smarter?

Imagine you have a super cool video game character, and you think giving them a special power-up potion will make them unbeatable. For years, many grown-ups believed fish oil (those shiny little pills that smell a bit fishy) was like a brain power-up!

Fish oil has something called Omega-3s, especially DHA, which is like a tiny building block for our brains. People thought taking these pills for a long time would make their memories sharper and help them think faster, like making their game character level up super quick.
