The Omega 3 marketing deception

More and more, people are realizing the importance of Omega 3 essential fatty acids in maintaining optimal health. And that's a good thing, right? Well, sort of. The problem is, the consumer knows just enough about the benefits of omega 3 fats to make him an easy target for the food industry's marketing strategies. You may have noticed more and more products containing omega 3 EFA are lining the shelves in the grocery store. You may have also wondered if those products are worth buying. Here is an excellent article from the mercola website that clears up this confusion.
