    What a big steaming load of [censored]! You've written dogma,
    not science.

    Yesterday on a golf course, I saw the head of a squirrel,
    the only remains of a meal for a hawk or owl. I invite you
    to "prove" how hawks are *any* more environmentally
    destructive than squirrels, LET ALONE "orders of magnitude"
    (pshaw - you don't even know what that means) more
    destructive.

    In fact, with the exception of man, the higher up the
    trophic levels you go, the LESS destructive species
    appear to be.

    OK, vegans should take flaxseed oil and soy powder. These
    are whey inferior to whey and fish oil, but I suppose if it

    I use it in salad dressing: with garlic, onion, herbs and
    some orange juice to balance the nasty flavour of the oil
    it's great. I like it with a salad of various leafy
    greens(especially the bitter ones).

    I've tried to find other oils and even though my ex runs a
    health food store he says he can't order anything else, not
    even vegetarian Omega 3 supplements but my guess is he's
    hardly trying though availability may be different here in
    the Netherlands.

    Of all things today I found I've a folic acid deficiency on
    top of the inability to absorb B12 despite eating all all
    the foods that should provide it so I think I need to add
    more stuff containing vitamin C.

    The conversion of flaxseed oil to DHA and EPA is terrible.
    You won't get much DHA and EPA out that strategy.

    It depends on a number of things:

    -gender, age: premenopausal females are more efficient
    converters.

    -ethnicity: if your ancestors were from Northern coastal
    climates, you are likely to be a poor converter

    -background levels of omega6 fats, trans fats, saturated
    fats, which hinder conversion when too high.

    Yes. Smart. PUFAs are prone to such conversion on
    exposure to heat, light, pressure, etc... with the omega3
    series being more sensitive than the omega6s and the
    longer chain FAs (EPA, DHA) more sensitive than the

    But, the amount of destruction depends on the cooking method

    Most destruction occurs around the skin.

    You're misstating the claims of the studies you erroneously
    cited. Frying isn't "destructive," it is counterproductive:
    it contributes *other* lipids to those found in the fish.
    It's especially self-defeating if one fries one's salmon in
    shortening or another transfat as Dr Kris-Etherton notes in
    another study of fish oils and cardiac health: "Commercially
    prepared fried fish (eg, from restaurants and fast food
    establishments, as well as many frozen, convenience-type
    fried fish products) should be avoided because they are low
    in omega-3 and high in trans-fatty acids."
    circ.ahajournals.org2747

    Dr Kris-Etherton, et al, concluded: Collectively, these data
    are supportive of the recommendation made by the AHA Dietary
    Guidelines to include at least two servings of fish per week
    (particularly fatty fish). In addition, the data support
    inclusion of vegetable oils (eg, soybean, canola, walnut,
    flaxseed) and food sources (eg, walnuts, flaxseeds) high in
    -linolenic acid in a healthy diet for the general population
    (Table 5). The fish recommendation must be balanced with
    concerns about environmental pollutants, in particular PCB
    and methylmercury, described in state and federal
    advisories. Consumption of a variety of fish is recommended
    to minimize any potentially adverse effects due to
    environmental pollutants and, at the same time, achieve
    desired CVD health outcomes. Op. cit.

    640S-646S

    The abstract of the above cited study says: Although
    vegetarian diets are generally lower in total fat, saturated
    fat, and cholesterol than are nonvegetarian diets, they
    provide comparable levels of essential fatty acids.
    Vegetarian, especially vegan, diets are relatively low in
    alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) compared with linoleic acid (LA)
    and provide little, if any, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and
    docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Clinical studies suggest that
    tissue levels of long-chain n-3 fatty acids are depressed in
    vegetarians, particularly in vegans. n-3 Fatty acids have
    numerous physiologic benefits, including potent
    cardioprotective effects. These effects have been
    demonstrated for ALA as well as EPA and DHA, although the
    response is generally less for ALA than for EPA and DHA.
    Conversion of ALA by the body to the more active longer-
    chain metabolites is inefficient: < 5-10% for EPA and 2-5%
    for DHA. Thus, total n-3 requirements may be higher for
    vegetarians than for nonvegetarians, as vegetarians must
    rely on conversion of ALA to EPA and DHA. Because of the
    beneficial effects of n-3 fatty acids, it is recommended
    that vegetarians make dietary changes to optimize n-3 fatty
    acid status. snipurl.com722a

    It says ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about conversion of essential
    fatty acids into transfats through cooking.

    Mozaffarian D, Lemaitre RN, Kuller LH, Burke GL, Tracy RP,
    Siscovick DS; Cardiovascular Health Study. Cardiac
    benefits of fish consumption may depend on the type of
    fish meal consumed: the Cardiovascular Health Study.
    Circulation 2003; 107: 1372-1377

    that study says: It may seem like common sense, but the
    species of fish you eat and the way it is prepared makes a
    difference to its health-protecting properties. It is widely
    accepted that the benefits associated with fish consumption
    relate largely to their long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated
    fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFAs), which are found in few other
    foods. Few studies, however, have described or analyzed
    their findings according the type of fish consumed. In
    particular, U.S. studies, where the consumption of fish is
    low, seldom have the ability to make this type of
    distinction. But Mozaffarian and coworkers have shown that
    fish is not simply "fish."

    They compared the effects on cardiac mortality of
    eating tuna, fried fish or fish sandwiches, and
    other broiled or baked fish species in adults aged
    65 or older, who were free of CVD at baseline.
    Subjects were monitored for 9.3 years. Because they
    were related, the consumption of tuna and "other
    fish" was combined. Eating tuna or other
    broiled/baked fish reduced the risk of cardiac
    death, particularly those from cardiac arrhythmia,
    by nearly half compared with the fried fish eaters.
    Those who ate tuna or other fish three times/week or
    more had a 49% lower chance of fatal heart disease
    and a 58% reduced likelihood of fatal cardiac
    arrhythmia compared with those eating tuna or other
    fish less than once/month. Eating fried fish or fish
    sandwiches not only failed to guard against cardiac
    fatality, it tended to make it more likely.

    Several differences between the two types of fish
    consumption can be suggested. Fried fish and
    commercially prepared fish sandwiches are *HIGH IN
    FAT BECAUE OF THE FAT ADDED DURING PREPARATION AND
    COOKING*. Fish sandwiches are usually made with lean
    white fish, the kind with the *LEAST N-3 LC-PUFAs*.
    In addition, the KIND OF FAT ADDED is likely to
    contain SATURATED and partially hydrogenated fat
    with TRANS FATty acids. Neither of these help the
    heart. So, choose fatty fish species for the most
    n-3 LC-PUFAs and prepare them with as little
    additional fat of any kind.
    fatsoflife.comarticle.asp

    My emphasis in the above. There is not *one word* of warning
    about conversion into trans fat, but rather that trans fats
    used to cook lean white fish which is already low in
    beneficial oils doesn't contribute to heart health (quite
    the opposite. Just as the summary starts, it's COMMON SENSE.
    Too bad you have none of that and instead misinform others
    either intentionally or through your own incompetence.

    Exposure to heat, light, temperature, pressure, etc. are all

    destructive. The destruction of long-chain omega3s in fish,
    or any other substance containing omega3s, for that matter,
    begins at the surface of the object that is cooking and
    works its way inward towards the center with increasing
    time, temperature, and/or pressure.

    -linolenic acid in a healthy diet for the general population
    (Table 5). The fish recommendation must be balanced with
    concerns about environmental pollutants, in particular PCB
    and methylmercury, described in state and federal
    advisories. Consumption of a variety of fish is recommended
    to minimize any potentially adverse effects due to
    environmental pollutants and, at the same time, achieve
    desired CVD health outcomes. Op. cit.

    fatty acid status in vegetarians: current knowledge and

    The abstract of the above cited study says: Although
    vegetarian diets are generally lower in total fat, saturated
    fat, and cholesterol than are nonvegetarian diets, they
    provide comparable levels of essential fatty acids.
    Vegetarian, especially vegan, diets are relatively low in
    alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) compared with linoleic acid (LA)
    and provide little, if any, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and
    docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Clinical studies suggest that
    tissue levels of long-chain n-3 fatty acids are depressed in
    vegetarians, particularly in vegans. n-3 Fatty acids have
    numerous physiologic benefits, including potent
    cardioprotective effects. These effects have been
    demonstrated for ALA as well as EPA and DHA, although the
    response is generally less for ALA than for EPA and DHA.
    Conversion of ALA by the body to the more active longer-
    chain metabolites is inefficient: < 5-10% for EPA and 2-5%
    for DHA. Thus, total n-3 requirements may be higher for
    vegetarians than for nonvegetarians, as vegetarians must
    rely on conversion of ALA to EPA and DHA. Because of the
    beneficial effects of n-3 fatty acids, it is recommended
    that vegetarians make dietary changes to optimize n-3 fatty
    acid status. snipurl.com722a

    It says ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about conversion of essential
    fatty acids into transfats through cooking.

    that study says: It may seem like common sense, but the
    species of fish you eat and the way it is prepared makes a
    difference to its health-protecting properties. It is widely
    accepted that the benefits associated with fish consumption
    relate largely to their long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated
    fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFAs), which are found in few other
    foods. Few studies, however, have described or analyzed
    their findings according the type of fish consumed. In
    particular, U.S. studies, where the consumption of fish is
    low, seldom have the ability to make this type of
    distinction. But Mozaffarian and coworkers have shown that
    fish is not simply "fish."

    They compared the effects on cardiac mortality of
    eating tuna, fried fish or fish sandwiches, and other
    broiled or baked fish species in adults aged 65 or
    older, who were free of CVD at baseline. Subjects were
    monitored for 9.3 years. Because they were related, the
    consumption of tuna and "other fish" was combined.
    Eating tuna or other broiled/baked fish reduced the
    risk of cardiac death, particularly those from cardiac
    arrhythmia, by nearly half compared with the fried fish
    eaters. Those who ate tuna or other fish three
    times/week or more had a 49% lower chance of fatal
    heart disease and a 58% reduced likelihood of fatal
    cardiac arrhythmia compared with those eating tuna or
    other fish less than once/month. Eating fried fish or
    fish sandwiches not only failed to guard against
    cardiac fatality, it tended to make it more likely.

    Several differences between the two types of fish
    consumption can be suggested. Fried fish and
    commercially prepared fish sandwiches are *HIGH IN FAT
    BECAUE OF THE FAT ADDED DURING PREPARATION AND
    COOKING*. Fish sandwiches are usually made with lean
    white fish, the kind with the *LEAST N-3 LC-PUFAs*. In
    addition, the KIND OF FAT ADDED is likely to contain
    SATURATED and partially hydrogenated fat with TRANS
    FATty acids. Neither of these help the heart. So,
    choose fatty fish species for the most n-3 LC-PUFAs and
    prepare them with as little additional fat of any kind.

    My emphasis in the above. There is not *one word* of warning
    about conversion into trans fat, but rather that trans fats
    used to cook lean white fish which is already low in
    beneficial oils doesn't contribute to heart health (quite
    the opposite. Just as the summary starts, it's COMMON SENSE.
    Too bad you have none of that and instead misinform others
    either intentionally or through your own incompetence.
