Thanks for the clarification, Voyager. I get my omega-3s from fish oil capsules and eating fish. One thing I read, in one of your posts, I think, was that the omega-3s in vegetable oils is short-chain and has to be converted to long-chain to be used. The omega-3s in fish oil and other protein sources is already long chain. It seems more efficient for my body to get it from protein sources. I don't worry about getting omega-6 since it seems to be in overabundance everywhere.
