In reply to Re: omega-3 more readily absorbed from whole fish, posted by Meri-Tuuli on March 13, 2007, at 16:37:32
What they should do is do this study again, but have the fish oil group take the 3 grams of oil per day with some food item, like a piece of chicken.
Vitamins tend to be absorbed better with food, with some of the foods they might have been found in and so yes, it makes sense that oils would be absorbed better with some sort of meat product or whatever.
So the question is, is it the fish specifically that helps absorption and metabolism of the fats or is it just food in general that helps the absorption of the fats?
