Question:  OK, if a woman takes a tablet/capsule of DHA, and it increases the
DHA in the breastmilk, have there been any good scientific studies that show
that DHA enhanced (artificially) breastmilk increases the infant's IQ?  Or is
it just an assumption?

Second question:  According to the literature, how much are the IQ's of
babies increased who receive DHA enhanced formula compared with non-DHA
enhanced formula vs. those who are breastfed?

Or is this sorta like the SMA that had 5 neucleotides added -- and the baby's
immune systems looked better that got that particular SMA, but the babies got
just as sick as babies that had the formula without the neucleotides?
