There's a good review article on omega-3 fatty acids throughout the lifespan. It was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1991, Vol. 54, pages 438-463. It includes discussion of breast milk. Of course the conclusion is that all infant formulas should be supplemented or taken off the market -- they don't conclude that breastfeeding should be promoted. Sigh. Still -- great bibliography, and talks about the whole lifespan and all the ways that omega-3 fatty acids are important to human health. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- Katherine A.
