Has
anyone here any experience of either? I rather like the idea of a much
cheaper version of Clarins in my kitchen cupboard!

Sacha, I have asked my husband to comment here as heart disease and
fatty acids are his subject, I know that he is known, throughout the
World, as an Expert on Omerga 3 oils. Hence his comments below and he
has warned me, he will charge if I do this again!!!

Ok, Edward here, Judith's husband. From my research in the late 1980'
early 90's, with regard to your comments on olive oil, I believe this
is accurate .

Omega 3 oils work fom the inside out. Olive oil is not that rich in w3
but is superbly balanced in respect of w3/w6 and therefore should
achieve the objective.

Thank you, Edward! I shall start taking some every day, too, or at least
dunk some bread in a good splodge of it. I can't say I understand the
chemistry but those southern Med people must have been doing something
right
and you clearly know all about it. What I don't understand is these new
and
apparently sudden, claims that eggs contain Omega 3. All eggs, or only
from
hens fed a special diet? I read Judith's 'reference' for you and felt a
strong and instantaneous twinge of guilt as I recalled the bacon sandwich
I
had for breakfast!

What did you do with it once you had recalled it?
