Hi Larry,
That's a very helpful link, but in the version that I pull up, there doesn't seem to be a "20:5" (= EPA) column. So, is EPA in there under another heading?
Also, just to clarify -- I'm not a chemist, although I am a biologist: I assume that the first value refers to the number of carbons in each chain, and the second describes the degree of "unsaturation" (i.e., number of C=C double bonds).
I could look this up, but am hoping that besides verifying (or correcting) this, you might elaborate a bit on the nutritional value of long vs. short-chain fatty acids and level of hydrogen saturation.
Thanks!
Viridis
