Hi Larry,
I have another question for you about fish oil. In the link to the Bipolar Child there is some mention about cell membranes becoming stiff when people eat a diet high in trans fatty acids and take fish oil. I am not careful about my diet, and would hate to think I am doing more harm than good by taking fish oil.
******************************************
The Diet of the Child is of Utmost Importance. Parents need to look not only to capsules, however, but to the total diet of their children. Because, as we said earlier, other lipids compete in the cell membranes for the spots that the omega-3's would occupy, a diet high in fat and trans-fatty acids will interfere with omega-3 integration in the cell membrane and the membranes will become stiff and inflexible.
