Vegetarians Had Lower Blood Omega-3 in UK Biobank Study

A new UK Biobank analysis found that white British vegetarians had about 33% lower total blood omega-3 than regular meat eaters. DHA was lower in vegetarians and vegans too.

The meat eaters weren’t carnivores, and fish eaters had higher omega-3 levels than the regular meat eaters. This was an observational study of blood levels—not a test showing that those differences caused disease.

Flaxseed and walnuts provide ALA, but conversion to EPA—and especially DHA—is limited. Salmon provides those forms directly.

Anybody here had their omega-3 index tested? And how often does fish make it onto your plate?
