This is not a study—it is a meta-analysis of only “the best studies.”

The lead finding talks of ALA, which is plant Omega-3. The second finding is about DHA and EPA in pill form.

It says everyone should get Omega-3s from animals (fish).

Sucks to be a vegan!

“It says everyone should get Omega-3s from animals (fish).”

So says the global anchovy fishing industry.

Or Krill, so says the global krill fishing industry.

Both are unsubstantiated yet heavily lobbied. However, there are studies that show flaxseed oil contains 10 times more amounts of Omega-3 than fish products.

The problem that I have with krill is that some people are allergic to shellfish, and they might be putting Krill into their bodies and having allergic reactions.

Everybody is allergic to shellfish. It is not that you are allergic to the shellfish itself, but it is when the body’s resistance to iodine breaks down that you become allergic to shellfish or anything with iodine content.

Truth be told, Benjamin Franklin was probably correct when he wrote that “everything should be in moderation.”

Scriptures also points to clean diets and Pulses, which contextually is often taken as “food grown from seed”, including fruit, vegetables or lentils (legumes). And also in moderation.

Scriptures, when broken down also instructs that scavenger meat should be avoided. The category scavenger is broad.

That is what I do. I get the omega from eating wild caught fish. I don’t eat meat, however.
