Whee! This is fun! I've talked with Stephanie Diaz at Martek, the people who make DHA from algae, and she was *very* interested to hear about the Japanese company with their "tuna eyesocket oil." She made a good argument for the superiority of their product from algae. I haven't been able to find out if Intelligent Choice, Inc. is traded on the stock exchange, but Martek is. The call letters are MATK, on the NASDAQ exchange. Shares are currently $17/each, with a low of $8 earlier in 1995. If anyone has extra money they want to invest, you can call your local discount brokerage house and buy some shares. Also my local brokerage house says it is best to wait a few months after a big stock offering (Martek just offered 2.5 million shares to the public last month) because the price usually comes down. Martek says they have marketing agreements with all the infant formula companies, and are currently conducting trials in terms of adding it to formula, adding it to pregnant/lactating women's diets to increase the levels in breast milk, etc. Very nice lady -- very pro-breastfeeding, and says Martek will go out of their way to say that everyone knows breast milk is best and that is why they are promoting their DHA for addition to formula, because those babies who can't/don't get breast milk should at least get the best possible substitute. And as Alicia said (I think it was Alicia), that of course is what all of us want for the children -- the best available. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- Katherine A.
