I would like to know this too.. I am not quite sure that no DHA is a good thing though. Seems to me that everyone jumped on that Stoll guy from Harvard's brand "Omega Brite" that is almost all EPA as the model of fish oil for mood disorders.
But , here is a simplistic argument , so feel free to shred it :
Proponents say that "countries that eat a lot of fatty fish have less depression/bipolar". Ok , I believe that.. but.. Do they breed special fish in those countries that only contain EPA in them.. no , it has DHA in there also . I think there is some marketing going on with these 100% EPA formulas , notice how ridiculously much more they are than regular fish oil?
Anyway, don;t know much about it, but its just a hunch, I would like to hear from people who know more ..
