Thank you so much for the support. It is very much appreciated. I am passionate about the topic and it is great to hear that others feel similarly or are getting to think about the issue.

Limited trials on brain trumours have shown a relation to higher levels of omega six (see previous posts).

60% plus of the brain is fat. A significant potion of that is omega three. If DHA is short it is replaced by the nearest omega six 22:5.

DHA has particular electrromechanical properties and loss of DHA in animal models has has been connect with reduced function, cell development issues etc.

Long chain omega threes are very much a brain issue.

Smart Fats, and The Natural Way to Beat Depression are books that emphasise this.
