      <description><![CDATA[I eat a lot of Golden flax and walnuts. I also take Salmon oil. for the omegas. I also take hemp seed oil. I pour it over sushi.  It's in a fatty meal like that when I take my omega supplements. I have a few different ones, but the best ones are those without fishy aftertaste. Also, better with Salmon oil, rather than anchovies. I read Omega 3 was the healthy one, and too much of Omega 6 is not a good thing? Is that true?]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I didn't realize that the ratio of ingested EFA's averages more like 20:1 Omega-6's to Omega-3's as opposed to the recommended 4:1; I thought that it averaged more like 16:1 so that is definitely a yikes that makes me happy that I supplement with plant-based (microalgae)-dervived DHA and flax seed meal daily! The brain is argueably our most important organ in the body and it is amazing how ALA can act in order to support long term brain health and cognitive function]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hello, O,
It's great to hear that you found the information about alpha-linolenic acid and Omega 3 fatty acids interesting. It's always cool to learn new things, especially when it comes to understanding the fancy names for everyday nutrients. And yes, it's pretty neat that alpha-linolenic acid is an essential fatty acid that our bodies don't produce; therefore we have to get it from our diet. Plant-based options like flaxseeds and walnuts are definitely great sources for it, as are supplements. If you'd like to learn about more omega fatty acids, check out this article on omega 6: <a href="https://www.nationalnutrition.ca/articles/supplements/omega-6/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">https://www.nationalnutrition.ca/articles/supplements/omega-6/</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[It is so cool to find out the different names for words that we hear often. Alpha-linolenic acid for example, is not a word I would commonly hear but when I hear Omega 3 fatty acid, I can understand it. I think it is cool to know that it is an essential fatty acid and that it means that we do not produce it but rather need to get it from our diet. It was helpful to know that it can come from plant-based options such as flaxseeds and walnuts too!]]></description>
