QUOTE(iamyuanwu @ Jul 31 2009, 03:48 AM) DO NOT avoid Omega 3. It's an essential fatty acid, which means your body cannot produce it but still needs it. Not exactly true. QUOTE(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega-3_fatty_acid) The human body cannot synthesize n−3 fatty acids de novo, but it can form 20-carbon unsaturated n−3 fatty acids (like EPA) and 22-carbon unsaturated n−3 fatty acids (like DHA) from the eighteen-carbon n−3 fatty acid α-linolenic acid. |

QUOTE(iamyuanwu @ Aug 2 2009, 11:23 PM) You have just proven me right, matey! =) Hah hah hah! Omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 FA) are essential. n-3 is just another way of saying Omega-3. And.... jeng jeng jeng... alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is an Omega-3 fatty acid. DHA and EPA are not the only omega-3 fatty acids. LOL! --- And BTW, wikipedia is open to everyone to edit. It is not exactly a very reliable source.  QUOTE(iamyuanwu @ Jul 31 2009, 03:48 AM) DO NOT avoid Omega 3. It's an essential fatty acid, which means your body cannot produce it but still needs it.

I won't even go into the proper definition of "essential", which I don't think means "your body cannot produce it but still needs it"  This post has been edited by wodenus: Aug 8 2009, 12:49 AM |
