Why humans can't thrive on plants alone.

When you think of animal fat, what comes to mind? Unsightly blobs of cellulite? Artery-clogging strips of gristle to be trimmed off your steak and tossed into the trash? Or a sophisticated substance that contains within it the secret to human intelligence?

  • Fat is not just for insulation and energy storage; it’s also for nutrient absorption, cell signaling, and other critical processes.
  • DHA is a fatty acid that humans can't function without, but the fewer animal foods a person eats, the lower their DHA levels tend to be.
  • The easiest way to obtain DHA is to include some fatty fish in one's diet.

Seed oil! Yum, soy

They claim it includes dha from Crypthecodinium cohnii oil, microalgal/single-cell source. So that's not animal based.

This really shouts "breast is best for baby", and it ought to be so long as the mother is supplementing herself sufficiently

Shame that their DHA supplements are more expensive and less effective than an omnivore's.
