    Re: Vegan Omega-3

    Hi Josh,

    I think we're pretty much agreed on all points. I'll reply following the order you took them in.

    Heart: I'm not convinced the studies have fully demonstrated the role of DHA here -...

    Josh,

    It may well be that we are both reading too fast and don't have the time to respond with the care we would like.

    OK. I was not being fair. I just re-read this.



    Aside from the unnecessarily patronising first sentence, that's not a bad summary of the situation, aside form the fact that the size of the...

    Re: Vegan Omega-3
