AndiBB pointed me to this trial. Thanks

Omega threes from whole fish are more effectively incorporated than fish oil.

Whole food sources have to be the best starting point.

This has to be balanced with the pollution issues dealt with in earlier parts of this thread.

And the good news is the fish oil is taken up.

I wonder if it varies with how and with what the fish oil is taken?

"In conclusion, fish consumption is more effective in increasing serum EPA and DHA than supplementing the diet with fish oil."
