Emphasis, Get DHA from food, not supplements!

Does the DHA one gets from eating seafood like oysters and wild salmon become rancid and have similar deleterious effects as fish oil supplements?

Dr Jack Kruse on DHA: DHA or Docisahexaenoic Acid may be the most important thing you eat.

Around 600 million years ago life forms expanded dramatically on our planet in a period called the Cambrian Explosion. It is thought that DHA had a lot to do with that.

DHA makes up much of your brain and retina and is an essential fatty acid. Shellfish and other fish are the best sources of this superfood.

DHA is 10x higher in breast milk than in cows milk, so keep that in mind.

DHA also has critical quantum properties which allow it to essentially transcribe light into chemical energy in the brain.

"DHA is 10x higher in breast milk than in cows milk, so keep that in mind." --OK, you convinced me. I'm hiring a wet nurse.

"DHA also has critical quantum properties which allow it to essentially transcribe light into chemical energy in the brain." That's why ideas are important--to get a lightbulb to go off in your head.

What about phosphatidyl Choline?

Important, but it is made up of fatty acids and choline. Itself, PC is not an essential fatty acid.

I share the same concern as "CL". My understanding from Dr. Mercola is that all seed oils are sources of high linoleic acid which he claims that most of us have in excess. So if the the PEO product is made from seed oils, how does that reconcile with Dr. Mercola's viewpoint? From what you are saying, Dr. Rowen, I gather that you are recommending some form of DHA/EPA supplementation, just not fish oils? I hope you can clarify this issue as I am confused.

Have I sufficiently answered your concern in my recent posts on fatty acids? Thank you.
