Chapter 4, Problem 16RQ
Summary Introduction
To examine: Whether the statement “The need for DHA increases during pregnancy because DHA is a major structural component of phospholipids in cell membranes of the central nervous system” is true or false.

During pregnancy, DHA promotes improved cognitive and neural development of the growing infant. Therefore, pregnant women are recommended to maintain an adequate intake of omega-3 fatty acids which can be acquired from foods such as seafood, DHA-fortified eggs, milk, and other food fortified with DHA.
