> I agree fully with you that eating the whole foods is always better than taking a supplement as the fuel that you give your body is exactly as nature intended it(I wonder if the eskimos get the same level of omega-3 in their native diets as people that generally take fish oil supplements get or whether the supplements actually provide higher amounts of EPA and DHA than even the eskimos eat?).
Estimates of Inuit daily intake of EPA and DHA are 14-20 grams/day, total. That's EPA and DHA, not crude fish oils (which have other fatty acids in them besides DHA and EPA).
