Omega 3

[douglas99]

I saw this
"the body cannot use the omega-3 from vegetable oils"

Any know if this is true, or the reason why?

Well,
I've spent a morning looking, and so far, everything I've read says it can. One particular type of omega 3 comes exclusively from fish, but the human body seems to be able to process any omega 3 from any source otherwise.

I think it depends who you believe.

Any searching for the truth on Google will bring up articles for and against your question.

So, as that article seems to state, olive oil and coconut oil seem to provide the needs if you're vegetarian?
