Vegan Diet and Omega-3s
According to a new report from the European Prospective Investigation
into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) Study, women on a vegan diet have
significantly more omega-3 “good fats” in their blood, compared with
fish-eaters, meat-eaters, and ovo-lacto vegetarians in spite of zero
intake of long-chain omega-3s eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and substantially lower intake of their
plant-derived precursor alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).

Omega-3s, Compared with Fish-Eaters
More and more evidence suggests that a well-balanced plant-based diet
suffices and exceeds the nutritional requirements for good health. It is
encouraging that studies like the one above might lead people to reduce
or stop consuming animal products, which in turn would benefit all of
God's Creation: our health, animals and the environment.
