ω−3 fatty acids (commonly spelled omega-3 fatty acids) are a family of polyunsaturated fatty acids which have in common a carbon-carbon double bond in the ω−3 position.Important nutritionally essential ω−3 fatty acids are: α-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). For a more complete list, see list of ω−3 fatty acids. The human body cannot synthesize ω−3 fatty acids de novo, but it can form 20- and 22-carbon unsaturated ω−3 fatty acids from the eighteen-carbon ω−3 fatty acid, α-linolenic acid. These conversions occur competitively with ω−6 fatty acids, which are essential closely related chemical analogues that are derived from linoleic acid. Both the ω−3 α-linolenic acid and ω−6 linoleic acid are essential nutrients which must be obtained from food. Synthesis of the longer ω−3 fatty acids from linolenic acid within the body is competitively slowed by the ω−6 analogues. Thus accumulation of long-chain ω−3 fatty acids in tissues is more effective when they are obtained directly from food or when competing amounts of ω−6 analogs do not greatly exceed the amounts of ω−3.

"Scientists have been warning for years that overfishing is degrading the health of the oceans and destroying the fish species on which much of humanity depends for jobs and food."Read this New York Times article to learn more about this critical issue and help spread the word to friends and family. This is an issue that affects us ALL!

Soaring cooking oil price in world market will also affect other food price in a chain reaction. Oil is used in animal feed for fowls, boars, fish and shrimps. Huge demand for biofuels had created tension not only between human and vehicles ....

I think most of us are familiar with the saying "Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime."
