Hello,
There's been some discussion about the levels of DHA in breastfeeding
mothers around the world. It really is a fact that the levels vary from
country to country, even from state to state in the U.S. Women in Japan
have a much higher DHA level in their breast milk than women from the U.S.;
in fact, I think that they have the highest levels of any country because of
a diet high in fish. I have a whole list somewhere at work comparing the
levels from different countries. When I get back to work (not for a few
days) I will look it up and post the source. Maybe someone else has this
and can post it sooner. I'm not advocating the need to supplement, but I
think this is interesting.
