Stonyfield Farms is looking to make yogurt even healthier. In Canada, their Organic YoBaby Plus Fruit &
Cereal Yogurt, made for infants and toddlers, is now fortified with MEG-3 brand omega-3,
giving it the same heart-healthy fatty acids that are found in foods like fish. Omega-3 is also found in breast milk in
the same concentration that Stonyfield is using in its yogurt; it was likely the inspiration for the idea to add MEG-3
to the product in the first place, as soft yogurts are considered to be a good "transition" to solid foods.
Yogurt isn't the only food to recently gain the benefits of omega-3s. Some research is being done with pork and omega-3s. The question is whether the infusion of the fatty acid into other foods will be able to reproduce all the health benefits of the naturally occurring acids in fish.
Research from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center suggests that levels of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty
acids, commonly found in fish, may have effects on depression levels, personality and behavior. A recent study examined
the blood levels of omega-3s in 106 healthy volunteers and found that those with lower levels of omega-3 fatty acids
were more likely to be impulsive, have a negative outlook and report mild or moderate depression. The results were
based on "three accepted tests for depression, impulsiveness and personality," according to a UPMC
