Research highlights distinct associations between omega-3 ALA and DHA and cognitive development, reinforcing the importance of omega-3-rich foods, including walnuts, as part of a balanced diet during pregnancy.

FOLSOM, Calif., Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What a mother eats during pregnancy may have implications for her child's cognitive development years after birth, according to new research published in the peer-reviewed European Journal of Epidemiology. The study found that higher prenatal levels of certain omega-3 fatty acids, including plant-based alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), were associated with differences in children's attention, working memory and fluid intelligence from childhood through adolescence.1

This first-of-its-kind research, funded by the California Walnut Commission, adds to the growing body of evidence examining the relationship between prenatal nutrition and long-term neurodevelopment. Importantly, the findings suggest that different types of omega-3 fatty acids may have distinct associations with cognitive function at different stages of childhood, specifically plant-based omega-3 ALA. Previous omega-3 fatty acid research has centered on fish- and marine-derived DHA and EPA where ALA has seen less investigation, until now.

For health professionals and expectant parents, the findings reinforce the importance of a balanced dietary pattern that incorporates a variety of omega-3-rich foods, including walnuts, which provide an excellent source of essential plant-based omega-3 ALA (2.5g/oz).2

Study Details: A first of its kind assessment on prenatal omega-3 consumption

Researchers from Southern Catalonia Biomedical Research Institute (IRB CatSud) and ISGlobal analyzed data from the Spanish Childhood and Environment (INMA) project, a population-based birth cohort, examining 716 mother-child pairs from four regions of Spain.

The research team measured three omega-3 fatty acids â ALA, DHA and EPA â in umbilical cord plasma to assess prenatal omega-3 exposure. Children's cognitive development was then evaluated at multiple points from approximately ages 5 through 15, focusing on attention, working memory and fluid intelligence, which includes the ability to reason and solve new problems.

The findings revealed several important distinctions:1

1. Higher prenatal ALA levels were associated with better attention during childhood.

Children with higher proportions of ALA in umbilical cord plasma demonstrated significantly lower overall inattentiveness across the follow-up period compared with children with lower ALA proportions.

The association was particularly evident during early childhood, around ages 5 and 7, when higher ALA levels were also associated with better fluid intelligence. These early advantages diminished over time, with the modeled associations reversing by adolescence.

Researchers also observed a potential positive trajectory for working memory associated with higher prenatal ALA, although this finding was less robust in the primary analysis and became statistically significant in additional sensitivity analyses.

2. Higher prenatal DHA levels were associated with cognitive advantages extending into adolescence.

Higher DHA proportions were associated with lower overall inattentiveness and better overall working memory performance.

The associations varied with age. Working memory advantages were most pronounced earlier in childhood, while favorable associations with attention and fluid intelligence became more apparent as children approached adolescence.

3. EPA was not significantly associated with the cognitive outcomes evaluated.

Unlike ALA and DHA, EPA proportions were not significantly associated with overall cognitive performance or developmental trajectories in this study.

Why This Research Matters: The Importance of Omega-3 ALA

Omega-3 fatty acids are important components of maternal nutrition, particularly during pregnancy, when the developing brain undergoes rapid growth. While DHA has historically received considerable attention in prenatal nutrition research, this study contributes to establishing the distinct benefits individual fatty acids contribute. In addition, it highlights the emerging evidence surrounding ALA, an essential plant-based omega-3 fatty acid.

"Our findings highlight the importance of looking beyond omega-3 fatty acids as a single group and understanding how individual fatty acids may relate to cognitive development at different stages of childhood," explained Jordi Julvez, PhD, principal investigator and head of the Clinical and Epidemiological Neuroscience (NeuroÃpia) group at IRB CatSud and researcher at ISGlobal.

"We observed that higher prenatal levels of ALA, an essential plant-based omega-3, were associated with favorable attention and reasoning outcomes in early childhood, while DHA showed more sustained associations as children developed into adolescence," said Ariadna Pinar, first author of the paper and a PhD student from NeuroEpia group at IRBCatSud. "This research is the first of its kind to assess the association of cord plasma ALA proportions on cognitive trajectories in the offspring and adds to our understanding of the potential long-term relevance of prenatal nutrition and reinforces the importance of a varied, balanced diet that provides different sources of omega-3 fatty acids."

ALA is considered essential because the human body cannot produce it on its own; it must be obtained through food. Although the body can convert some ALA into longer-chain omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA and DHA, that conversion is limited. Consuming a variety of dietary omega-3 sources is therefore important.

Walnuts are particularly noteworthy. One ounce of walnuts â approximately a handful, or 12â14 walnut halves â provides 2.5 grams of ALA, making them an excellent source and convenient way to incorporate this essential nutrient into everyday eating habits.2

Other dietary sources of ALA include flaxseeds, chia seeds and certain plant oils, while DHA and EPA are primarily found in fatty fish and seafood.

The new research supports considering different dietary sources of omega-3 fatty acids as part of an overall balanced eating pattern rather than focusing exclusively on one type. Further research is needed to better understand the individual contributions of omega-3 fatty acids and how prenatal and postnatal dietary patterns may influence cognitive development over time.

Daily Racing Form expert analysts David Aragona and Kenny Peck handicap the Friday, October 30 Breeders’ Cup racing card fron Keeneland.

Also, view FREE DRF Past Performances for today’s Race of the Day.

Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint

Keeneland, Race 6, Friday, 2:55 p.m. ET

David Aragona: The Europeans have sent a formidable brigade for this and seem likely to take home the top prize. For a turf sprint, owing to the preference given to international participants, there isn’t that much pace signed on. That could benefit MOONRISE, who has better tactical speed than most Euros in here and should sit a nice pocket trip. She’s won all three starts when Oisin Murphy has been up and held her own against the best in Europe last time. FORCE NOIR has been a little inconsistent, but he has tactical speed and does appear to be peaking ahead of this. LIBERTANGO owns the best form of the Europeans and will benefit from picking up Flavien Prat. However, she’s consistently a bit slow from the gate, and that has to be considered at a short price. Among the Americans, BRICKYARD BELLE has done nothing wrong and Harper’s Corner should be leading the field for a long way. As usual, it’s a wide-open affair to kick off the Breeders’ Cup.

Kenny Peck: LIBERTANGO was unable to run with Sun Goddess in the Cheveley Park last time, but she was game in defeat in a race that yielded the best Timeform Rating of her career. She was a game winner of the Lowther Stakes two back after a slow start forced her to weave through a bulky field and figures to be rolling late in this BC Juvenile Turf Sprint if she can post an improved figure for the third straight race. FINAL OBJECTIVE just outgamed the others in a blanket finish in the Flying Childers Stakes in his latest. He’s another who figures to appreciate a quick, contested pace up front. MUSSAB eyes his fourth straight, and a repeat of that last one could be good enough to do it, though he may be at his best at a flat five furlongs. FORCE NOIR has high speed and will be a factor from the outset.

Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies

Keeneland, Race 7, Friday, 3:35 p.m. ET

David Aragona: It’s easy to see why connections started DOMAIN EXPANSION on turf, given her massive stride and high-stepping action. She was just a bit one-paced in that lone grass start, but switching to dirt in the Oak Leaf unlocked her true potential. She was more forward, traveling in the bridle despite racing in traffic, and then exploded with run when let loose in the lane. Distance is obviously no issue; she drew well inside, and figures to be a fair price since her connections aren’t household names. I have few knocks against EMPHATIC other than the price. She’s run faster than these, albeit with a perfect trip. Yet she doesn’t need the lead and is the only horse in here with multiple two-turn wins. FOXIEST is the one longshot I’d throw into the mix. She needs to improve again, but she has a ton of pedigree behind her and showed encouraging determination when bulling her way through traffic to win her maiden.

Kenny Peck: MANUKA HONEY goes two turns and meets Grade 1 company for the first time in this Juvenile Fillies, but she couldn’t have been much more impressive in her first three starts, rating kindly and drawing off smartly in all of those races, including in the Grade 3 Pocahontas Stakes last time. She will need a career-best Beyer to win this but could well still be on the improve. MISS MONICA was never threatened in either of her first two starts at Del Mar, and she showed the ability to race on the lead or come from off the pace. She’ll be a forward factor in her first route try. DOMAIN EXPANSION merits respect off that big effort in the Oak Leaf. Her positional speed and inside post should mean she’s well spotted from the start. EMPHATIC probably won’t get another loose lead, but she doesn’t need to be, and that versatility gives her some options.

Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf

Keeneland, Race 8, Friday, 4:15 p.m. ET

David Aragona: The two favorites have garnered all the headlines leading into what is easily the deepest ever edition of this race. Yet that depth goes beyond the headliners, as there are other Europeans in here who would be vying for favoritism in any normal year. ALWAYSANANGEL is among those. What has this filly ever done wrong? She seemed to relish the step up in trip when winning at seven furlongs two back and then was staying on admirably while no match for SUN GODDESS over a shorter trip in the Cheveley Park. She’s got all stamina on her dam’s side and looks like one that will go farther. I have few knocks against the favorite, who has been terrific. On form, Sun Goddess is better than Meditate and Lake Victoria, who each won this race for Aidan O’Brien in recent years. Her only drawback is the prohibitive price. AMUSINGLY is the obvious upset threat off her sparkling last-to-first Lagardere win. She’s a headstrong horse who needs to get held up to maintain all of her finishing speed, so her trip may be trickiest to work out among the Europeans.

Kenny Peck: VANTA seemed vulnerable off the turn in the Surfer Girl Stakes, as the leader, Blockade, controlled the pace from the start and still had run, but Vanta made a strong bid under a hand ride to win for the third time in as many starts. It wasn’t as visually impressive as her win in Del Mar’s Juvenile Filly Turf, but she has every right to take a step forward given a contested pace up front. SENECA PARK weakened in the Jessamine, but that was a strong effort as she had to outrun other speeds to get clear. She is dangerous if she can back the fractions down more efficiently here. SUN GODDESS is a brilliant sprinter and perhaps capable of winning this BC Juvenile Fillies Turf, though she may not be the right value play given her inexperience at this distance. AMUSINGLY hasn’t done much wrong in three starts in France, where she showed a nice late kick. She is a clear stretch threat.

Breeders’ Cup Juvenile

Keeneland, Race 9, Friday, 4:55 p.m. ET

David Aragona: I had initially been skeptical of AMERICAN HISTORY’s Breeders’ Futurity since the race appeared to fall into his lap. However, he did break a length slowly and had to be ridden for nearly the entire race trying to regain position. I really liked his debut, a race that has proven to be stronger than the speed figures suggest, and he’s trained brilliantly out of that last win. In my opinion, he’s most likely to upset HUGHES, who does merit respect. I just question this favorite’s overall class. None of the horses who he’s beaten out west are particularly good, and it’s very easy to poke holes in that standout American Pharoah figure. Hughes is the most likely winner, but his price will be too short. My crazy longshot to throw in is EARTH SONG, who was bumped hard at the quarter pole of the Champagne but nevertheless stayed on well. He looks like the sort who will improve going two turns.

Kenny Peck: AMERICAN HISTORY wore down a softened-up COACH POPE in the final yards of the Breeders’ Futurity after a slow start left him with a lot to do, and though he was aided by an otherwise clean trip and the contested pace, he should once again be the beneficiary of a duel up front. He has lots of upside as he makes only his third career start in this BC Juvenile and he could be good enough given the right setup. Coach Pope was a game second in that race, nearly lasting despite the race-long duel. He proved in his maiden score two back that he doesn’t have to be on the lead and can turn the tables here if he can avoid another pace battle. Looking to beat HUGHES, who benefited from an ideal trip in the American Pharoah and will be the heavy favorite.

Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf

Keeneland, Race 10, Friday, 5:35 p.m. ET

David Aragona: The Coolmore team has sent five to this race (even French-trained Avec Toi shares ownership with the Aidan O’Brien quartet), so it’s hard to imagine they’ll come away empty-handed. The strange thing is that I don’t really like their shorter prices but am drawn to some of their longshot contenders. FLORIDA BAY is generally regarded as a pacemaker for his stablemates, but he’s better than that. He defeated one of his key rivals in the Tyros and has been game in defeat in each loss since then while keeping top company. He’s an excellent gate horse for a European, and there isn’t a ton of speed in here. MAN’S BEST FRIEND is the other Coolmore runner I want. He was so impressive when overcoming trouble to win the Richmond and has had minor excuses since. He seems cut out to relish this one-mile stretch-out. There’s nothing wrong with the form of favorites HOW’S AL TODAY or FOLSOM BLUES, but I saw this race as too wide open among the Euros to take a short price on anyone.

Kenny Peck: FOLSOM BLUES has yet to run a poor race, and his latest two efforts were the best of his career in terms of his Timeform Ratings. The one-mile distance of this Juvenile Turf presents a question he’ll have to answer, but those seven-furlong tries didn’t suggest he’ll have an issue with the extra ground. GREAT BARRIER REEF is another trying a route for the first time, and he’s another who posted the best figures of his short career in his last pair. His outside post is no bargain, but he clearly has the speed to get position while also capable of making a run late. HOW’S AL TODAY swallowed up the leaders with quick bursts in each of his two starts on the turf at Kentucky Downs, and while he was aided by the race flow in both of those races, he has to be respected off those running lines. AVEC TOI could show sharpened speed with blinkers added and from his inside post.

Regelungen im Notfallgesetz gefährden Arzneimittelsicherheit

Berlin (ots)

Die ABDA - Bundesvereinigung Deutscher Apothekerverbände warnt eindringlich vor den negativen Folgen der kürzlich im Bundestag beschlossenen Notfallreform. "Aus gutem Grund sind Apothekerinnen und Apotheker die letzte Kontrollinstanz vor der Abgabe von Arzneimitteln. Apothekerinnen und Apotheker haben hier auf Grund Ihrer Ausbildung eine hohe Verantwortung für die Abgabe und richtige Einnahme und Dosierung von Arzneimitteln. Da ist unser einzigartig wichtiger Beitrag für die Therapiesicherheit der Menschen in unserem Land", sagt ABDA-Präsident Thomas Preis anlässlich entsprechender Pläne des Bundestages im Gesetz zur Reform der Notfallversorgung.

Zur Erklärung: Mit der Notfallreform will es der Gesetzgeber unter anderem ermöglichen, dass Ärztinnen und Ärzte - beispielsweise in Integrierten Notfallzentren und in ambulanten Notdiensten - Arzneimittel direkt an die Patientinnen und Patienten abgeben können. Preis dazu: "Das zwischen Apotheker- und Ärzteschaft etablierte Vier-Augen-Prinzip ist ein zentrales Element, um dem Fehl- und Missgebrauch von Medikamenten entgegenzuwirken. Die Apothekenpflicht stellt diese Schutzfunktion sicher. Sie kann ihre Wirkung aber nicht entfalten, wenn sie im ärztlichen Notdienst - wie jetzt geplant -umgangen wird. Das Gesetz schafft auch Parallelstrukturen in der Arzneimittelversorgung. Denn: Die flächendeckenden, rund um die Uhr geltenden Nacht- und Notdienstregelungen der Apotheken funktionieren bestens - es gibt also gar keinen Grund, in diesem Bereich gesetzgeberisch tätig zu werden."

Am 15. Oktober hatte der Bundestag das Gesetz in 2./3. Lesung bereits beschlossen, bevor es nun am 4. November auf die Tagesordnung des Gesundheitsausschusses des Bundesrates gesetzt wird. Am 20. November soll das Plenum des Bundesrates über das Notfallversorgungsreformgesetz abstimmen. Die ABDA hat inzwischen eine aktualisierte Stellungnahme zu dem Vorhaben veröffentlicht.

ABDA-Präsident Preis fügt hinzu: "Mit Blick auf das Bundesratsverfahren fordern wir die Bundesländer auf, uneingeschränkt für eine Beibehaltung der Apothekenpflicht einzutreten. Zu bedenken ist auch, dass die Regelungen erhebliche wirtschaftliche Negativ-Folgen für die Apotheken haben können. Denn: Wenn die meisten ärztlichen Verordnungen im Notdienst aufgrund einer ärztlichen Arzneimittelabgabe wegfallen, beeinflusst das auch die Wirtschaftlichkeit des Apothekennotdienstes. Wenn dadurch dann weitere Notdienste durch eventuelle Apothekenschließungen wegfallen sollten, hätte dies spürbare Folgen für die lokale Versorgung der Patientinnen und Patienten."

Der vergessene Filmpartner von Heinz Rühmann: Lausitzer Dokumentarfilm erinnert an ermordeten Ufa-Star Otto Wallburg

Berlin (ots)

Premiere am 4. November in Berlin - Enkel reist aus Frankreich an

1932 standen sie gemeinsam vor der Kamera: Otto Wallburg und Heinz Rühmann drehten die Komödie "Strich durch die Rechnung", zum Teil auf der Radrennbahn in Forst (Lausitz). Rühmann wurde einer der bekanntesten deutschen Schauspieler. Wallburg wurde als Jude verfolgt und am 30. Oktober 1944 in Auschwitz ermordet. Am Freitag jährt sich sein Todestag zum 82. Mal, und heute kennt ihn kaum noch jemand.

Das FILM LAB Lausitz, eine Initiative des Filmmuseum Lausitz e.V. in Klein Loitz (Spree-Neiße), zeichnet in dem Dokumentarfilm "Vergessene Gesichter: Otto Wallburg seinen Lebensweg nach. Dabei stellt sich die Frage, warum ein Schauspieler, der in Kinoerfolgen wie "Der Kongreß tanzt" und "Bomben auf Monte Carlo" ein Millionenpublikum begeisterte, heute vergessen ist.

Im Film kommt auch Wallburgs Enkel François Wasserzug zu Wort. Rühmann habe bis 1933 fast täglich mit der Familie Wallburg verkehrt, berichtet er. Nach dem Krieg baten sein Vater und dessen Bruder Rühmann um eine Zeugenaussage im Wiedergutmachungsverfahren, denn die Nationalsozialisten hatten Wallburgs Besitz enteignet. Rühmann habe geantwortet: "Ich erinnere mich an nichts." Die Spitzenorganisation der Filmwirtschaft (SPIO) hat Rühmann im November 2025 nach einer Studie des Instituts für Zeitgeschichte ihre Ehrenmedaille aberkannt.

Wallburg musste 1933 Deutschland verlassen. Über die Niederlande und Theresienstadt wurde er nach Auschwitz deportiert. Der Film zeigt zum ersten Mal die Aufzeichnungen seines Sohnes Reinhard Wasserzug, der die Jahre 1933 bis 1938 im französischen Exil festgehalten hat.

Der Film entstand für das FILM LAB Lausitz nach einem Drehbuch von Ariane Rykov, Regie führte Uwe Marcus Rykov.

Das Ministerium für Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kultur hat den 41-minütigen Film durch die Plattform Kulturelle Bildung gefördert. Jugendliche aus Brandenburg haben seine Entstehung begleitet.

Zur Premiere am 4. November im Berliner Kino Babylon kommt François Wasserzug mit seiner Familie aus Frankreich.

David Guetta headlines the celebration at Sparkle Theatre, while a new family-friendly experience takes place at the Coastal Convention Center

MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fontainebleau Miami Beach, the iconic luxury resort spanning 20 acres of prime oceanfront in the heart of Miami Beach, is setting the stage for an extraordinary start to 2027, welcoming back GRAMMY®-winning DJ and producer David Guetta to headline its New Year's Eve festivities on Thursday, December 31. This year, the resort is introducing a new format for its annual celebration, offering two distinct experiences: a high-energy, indoor celebration with Guetta in the resort's Sparkle Theatre and an elevated family-friendly celebration at the Coastal Convention Center. Together. Together, these experiences offer new ways to celebrate while continuing Fontainebleau's signature New Year's Eve tradition and entertainment legacy.

"For decades, Fontainebleau Miami Beach has set the stage for unforgettable New Year's Eve celebrations, and this year, we are introducing an exciting new chapter in that tradition," said Peter McMahon, executive vice president and managing director of Fontainebleau Miami Beach. "Bringing David Guetta's electrifying performance indoors to Sparkle Theatre allows us to create an immersive, one-of-a-kind experience for our guests while our new family-friendly celebration offers another way to experience the excitement of the evening. We are proud to build on Fontainebleau's entertainment legacy while creating memorable experiences for everyone joining us to welcome 2027."

Taking over the Sparkle Theatre, David Guetta will bring his signature sound and electrifying stage presence to one of Miami's most anticipated nights of the year.
