  1. Sorry if this is OT (but I doubt it,) I don't seem to have any nutrition
    newsgroups.

    I'm wandering if there is anything in plant/flax based oils (ALA + GLA) that
    has been shown to have any health benefits beyond the benefits of the small
    percentage that converts to DHA and EPA which have clearly been shown to
    have health benefits. In otherwords is there any point in taking these short
    chain Omega 3's either instead of or in combination with fish oils.

    Thanks!

    Unless you are "Mr Usenet", then you shouldn't have any.
