From reading that press release, I understood their statement to be that
human milk is the standard for DHA. What I forsee is a "required"
supplement for pregnant mothers to make sure their diet is sufficient in
DHA/ARA, because of course you can't trust mom "to be compliant" enough to
eat right. :-{
I need to read the patent itself for better info than the press release
provides and to find out which govt agency has the financial interest.
