Re: Re: Budwig diet for cancer cure - very interesting overtones for our children

[Guest guest]

As this says, I understood that the conversion from ALA to DHA was

extremely inefficient -- maybe 1% -- so that stuff that says High in

Omega 3 is not necessarily particularly useful. There's been some

unenthusiastic science on Vitamin E recently. So that might be worth

checking before you give it.
