Do you have any cites on that Jennifer?  As it plays into my owns 
feelings that we're more pre-disposed to getting what we need from ALA,

Many thanks.  :-)

Men have been shown to convert very minute amounts as well. There is no historic dietary source of DHA, (no prehistoric Martek) so we would have to have the capacity to convert it.
