> You really do know your material! So basically the combination of trans fatty acids and fish oil would not cause the stiff cell membranes, but rather if you eat a lot of trans fatty acids and don't use fish oil you could cause that to happen. Am I following you correctly?

Yes. Excess dietary intake of saturated fat, and/or trans fat, *relative* to omega-3 intake, will reduce the fluidity of cell membranes.

The 'treatment' for this condition is to adjust the relative amounts of these kinds of fat in your diet. In other words, if it says "hydrogenated" on the label, don't eat it. That'll take care of the trans fats. No margarine.
