Long Chain Omega-3 Fatty Acids in Human Health
The following is an excerpt from the "White Paper" issued by The Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) Washington, D.C., 2005:1-6.
For heart health, the public has been urged for many decades to reduce consumption of saturated fats and replace them with unsaturated fats. Saturated fats are the solid fats that can be seen in many meat products, such as beef, pork, poultry and some plants such as coconut, palm fruit and palm kernel oil. Seed oils like cottonseed also have relatively high levels of saturated fat. In contrast, unsaturated fats are fluid at room temperature. They include monounsaturated fats (also known as omega-9 or oleic acid) that are present in olive oil, and the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) present in many grains, nuts, plant oils, and fish. PUFAs fall into two classes, the omega-6 and the omega-3 fatty acids. The names indicate the chemical structure of these fatty acids, which have their first unsaturated bond (double bond) at carbon number 6 or carbon number 3, respectively, from the end of the chain.
