Have you located a chart that shows arachidonic content of foods?

Here is data about foods high in arachidonic acid (20:4). Beware of
farmed fish.

I can give all the above a try but am leary about the egg yolks.
Supposedly regular eggs have 650mg n6 / 37mg n3 which is roughly 18:1.
The Eggland's Omega eggs available here are 700mg/100mg which is 7:1
and still seems to be far from 1:1. Also a regular yolk has 345mg
arachidonic acid.

Very difficult to give any figure of those data since the feeding
practice changes from one producer to another, and eating habits
changes from one hen to another,

Now and then I get eggs over here that seems to have been produced by
a hen eating only omega-3 containing food, tasting really terrible.

A good reason why both feeding practice and ratio should be documented
for every batch produced.

Some farmers use mainly omega-3 acid based diets (gives expensive
fish, but healthy), while too many thinks only on profits and give a
damn about negative health effects and give no omega-3 fatty acids at
all, using soy proteins and fats (refined for omega-3 since that make
the oil less storable) and other omega-6 acid containing food.

Since consumers are told to eat fat fish due to omega-3, such products
are in practice illegal and should be sued for fraud.

I hope some of you would be doing that.

Why do you take a calcium supplement?

Forgot to mention: I take calcium citrate and magnesium, as well as
selenium, vitamin D and a B complex. You could have some deficiencies.
Use some nutritional yeast. I take about half a teaspoon or so with
each meal. Also, try Metagenics whey powder, which is the best
quality, organic, non-pasteurized, etc. I forgot what they call it,
exactly, but a local health food store sells it right off the shelf.
See if that bothers you. Carrageenan is a big problem in processed
dairy products.

Is it true that krill oil is better than fish oil? More omega-3s I guess? Have you tried it your self? What do you think of Dr. Mercola's brand? He mentions a lot of krill oil benefits on his page. Sorry for all the questions 😉

This is Dr. Mercola's

video, right? Can anyone verify his claims?
