ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH FISH OIL? 1. Towards Dietary Reference Intakes for Eicosapentaenoic and Docosahexaenoic Acids-consistent evidence from multiple research paradigms demonstrates a clear, inverse relation between EPA+DHA intake and risk of fatal (and possibly nonfatal) heart disease, providing evidence that supports a nutritionally achievable DRI for EPA+DHA between 250 and 500 mg/d.
2. Getting fish oil in the placenta -These essential fatty acids are important for proper fetal development and must be provided by the mother’s diet to provide good health.
3. Mother’s diet controls offspring obesity even at age 23 – Evidence from epidemiologic studies has shown that early undernutrition [poor diet of junk food and excess calories lacking nutrients like fish oil and folic acid] may be a determinant of obesity later in life.
