This maybe the most important article available on the benefits of Omega-3 Fatty acids and health, It points out the many benefits of omega-3 and states that vegetable sources of omega three will work as well as fish sources. It clearly makes the link between the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and the use of omega-3. It makes recommendations on the amount that a person should take daily.

I hope you find this beneficial. You can get an excellent vegetable source of omega-3 from Chia Seed. In fact it has the highest amount of any food source. Chia products are available at www.nuchiafoods.com. The company currently offers a 1 LB pack of Raw Whole Chia Seeds, and has plans to offer many new food products, including a Chia Grain (flour) for all purpose baking, cookie mixes and pancake mix. These products are scheduled for roll out in April of 2008.
