Hi Nat!

Thanks for that information. I had already ordered Eades newest book earlier today.

The studies he based his earlier opinions on were done in 1989 and 1993. Science is based on the reproducibility of the results by different laboratories to such an extent as the conclusions become acceptable in the science community.

Obviously the study in 1998 showing that ALA reduces eicosanoid synthesis has not been reproducible. In researching this I found many studies proving ALA reduces risk of cardiac disease and I found many other studies on the benefits of EPA and DHA. Perhaps the benefits of ALA outweigh and drawbacks.
