In reply to DHA from fish oil is important, too!, posted by Larry Hoover on November 17, 2002, at 9:04:10
The article reads like an advertisement for DHA and it probably is since it was created by a company named "Docosa Foods Ltd".
Dr Stoll seems to believe that EPA is the important component of fish oil and recommends a ratio of EPA to DHA of 7 to 1. I've never read an expanation of how he arrived at this ratio ... Is is because DHA is largely irrelevant or is it because DHA may actually be harmful in large doses?
We know that DHA is important in developing babies and their mothers, but its role in adult maladies seems to be unclear.
