Now you tell me. What do I do with all this FO? {Well there is the neighbors cat, but she's already crazy (dodging rocks)(ha).}

But why would we think certain pufa's are so much more perox than others, like ALA? and then epa/dha made from it? I recall MR saying that excess of n-3 gets used for energy - why not FO?

Regards.
