Product Description
This volume brings together scientists from academia, government and industry to discuss the role of w3 fatty acids in health, the need to reintroduce them into the food supply, the methods by which this can be accomplished and the state of research. The book presents up-to-date reviews on the role of w3 fatty acids in health, cardiovascular disease, bone remodelling relative to osteoporosis and in patients with retinitis pigmentosa, with emphasis on the need for a balance of w3 and w6 fatty acids in the food supply. The reintroduction of w3 fatty acids into food products is discussed, and the methods involved in their production, their metabolic effects on human beings and companion animals are also outlined. Overall, the papers presented indicate the necessity to establish recommended daily intakes for both w6 and w3 fatty acids. |
