Omega-3 fatty acids affect risk of depression, inflammation
03-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
A new study suggests that people whose diets contain dramatically more of one kind of polyunsaturated fatty acid than another may be at greater risk for both clinical depression and certain inflammatory diseases. The report suggests that we need to balance out our intake of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids.
