Do modern western diets provide enough Omega-3 PUFAs?
Generally speaking, no. Modern western diets do not include enough foods rich in Omega-3 PUFAs. Marine foods (richest in Omega-3 PUFAs) are not eaten regularly, especially by children. To obtain ideal levels of Omega-3 PUFAs, experts recommend anywhere from 2 to 25, 3oz servings of fatty fish a week (Gebauer, S., et al., 2006).
