As always, a balanced, well-thought diet without crazy extremism will do wonders for your health

Alternating fish and flax oil in different days is great!
Don't get me wrong I agree flax seed is a healthy addition to any diet, but this thread is about foods that increase IQ. ALA has not proven itself worthy of being classified in the same group as DHA, and EPA. DHA has been proven in countless studies to help increase IQ. Not only IQ, but it is also the most highly sought after fatty acid for heart health.
