The essential fatty acid (EFA) market, which includes predominantly omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, has been met with great success over the last several years, but it continues to suffer from an identity crisis of sorts, as well as a lack of clear communication about benefits. Which omega 3's are best? Are omega 3's more beneficial to health when compared to omega 6 fatty acids? Does the risk of consuming omega 3's from fish or fish oil involve more risk than benefit? What dosages are most appropriate? These are the questions companies and researchers have been trying to answer and they have finally come to some solid conclusions.
