> EPA decreases inflammatory response.

If this assertion is not anecdotal please site sources.

> DHA has more of a direct effect on neuronal behaviour.

Again, sources please?

> DHA is also linked to changes in genetic regulation of neuron behaviour. There are substantial changes in genes which regulate energy metabolism, membrane protein expression, neuronal plasticity, and other beneficial changes. (See: http://www.pubmedcentral.gov/articlerender.fcgi?tool=pmcentrez&artid=122397, Table 5)

..perhaps that linkage can be established in *rats*..

> There is substantial evidence that man evolved on a diet that provided an omega-6:omega-3 ratio of about 1:1.

Such as?

> There is some controversy over whether supplementing with the shorter omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic (e.g. flax oil) is sufficient to overcome the imbalance from diet, as there are five chemical reactions required to convert it to DHA. The yield, the efficiency of that process, has been estimated to be close to zero in men, and no more than 7% in women.

Source?? I see many claims here but nothing to back them up. Are these claims based upon clinical observation? Scientific study? Mars conjuct Venus? Thanks for clarification.
