Omega 3's have cardiovascular, brain ,and mental disorder benefits and thus are very important.  Unfortunately, 50% too little omega 3s are consumed by people in America and Europe.  This study was conducted to find how best to supply omega 3's in food.  It found by feeding animals linseed and rapeseed grain extracts ALA acid was twice as high in beef, six times in pork, ten in chicken, and forty in eggs.  Also, by feeding animals fish extracts or algae oils the level of DHA was twice as high in beef, seven times in chicken, six times in eggs, and twenty times in salmon.  This study concluded how important it is to feed animals, especially salmon, good fats to improve their nutritional content.  Also, the study stressed the importance of omega 3s in baby formula.  Overall, the study recommended eating more omega 3s because the nutritional benefits are so great compared to how much it costs to increase omega 3s in your diet.
