You're right, Todd, I did misunderstand.  I took your statement out of
context of  the earlier argument (in the academic sense, here)  within the
very long thread on this topic.  Now I understand the point you were trying
to make, and you're correct on this.

Not to stoke any fires or try to douse any with re: to either your position
or Andrew's (nor to spark a potential flame over the paleo-correctness of
supplementation), I'll make only brief mention here that the Eades' position
on p. 69 of the Lifeplan book is that the ALA>EPA/DHA conversion process
works fine IF the necessary enzymes are in top working order, which among
their patients they have found is seldom the case.
