First it's appearance. The book has a good size, it is surprisingly beautiful with the dustcover removed. The pages have a perfect weight and aren't overly whitenend. I found the "scientific" content very understandable. It was written for normal people. I liked the broad context in which omega 3 fats were placed and I would have liked an even more broad perspective. For instance, are there also other omega fats in the saturated fats class? Omega 3, 6 and 9 are mentioned, but do Omega 1, 2, 4 etc. exist at all? With regard to the studies and the health benefits of Omega 3 fatty acids I found the book a little bit repetitive, but I suppose that all the more shows that this fat is good in a lot of ways. In the book there are by the way 14 pages of references to all kinds of studies. The best thing this book offers are the 52 pages of fat contents of all kinds of foods (total fat, total omega 6, total omega 3, ratio 6:3, LA, AA, ALA, EPA, DHA). After reading this book and studying these pages, you definitely know which foods are good and which aren't, regarding to it's fat content. Just some random things I liked: - the writer explains where omega fats got their name from - there is an explanation on transfats - lots of tables and figures Martijn The Netherlands

I just finished reading The Ultimate Omega-3 Diet by Evelyn Tribole. This book can be considered a successor to The Queen of Fats (by Susan Allport). She explains this complex subject about as well as it can be explained. It's not surprising that the general public has not heard much about the conflict between Omega-3s and Omega-6s; the area is confusing. She includes 50 pages of detail about many (but not all) foods, including columns for: Total Fat, Omega-3, Omega-6, ratio of 6 to 3, LA, AA, ALA, EPA, and DHA. I found it fascinating how she tweaked the diets of two of her clients, who generally were eating healthy foods, to change their 6:3 ratios to what is considered a better ratio (for one of them, it went from 11:1 to 1.5:1). I found the arguments in both this book and Queen of Fats to be compelling, and consequently have been modifying my food choices.

I got confused in this book on the first page. This seems to be written for scientists, and not normal people. I am not very far into it, but may chuck it before I finish it. I did appreciate some of the 3-6-9 explanations, but not enough info on each. I don't have time for this. I'll search for a more readable book.

Terrific Book by B. Judge (W. Des Moines, IA)

If you want to understand how Omegas affect our bodies, this is a very good book. I learned so much about which Omegas to eat, how much and why. The recipes are very good and easy. My children even like the recipes.
