Perhaps this book has been mentioned before, but I'm reading "The Queen Of Fats" by Susan Allport.

It is extremely fascinating, and gives me a better insight in the science behind the books of B. Sears. It also allows me to better understand that it's not just Omega-3, but the balance of Omega-3 and Omega-6 that is most important. Just adding omega-3 without reducing omega-6 intake is almost pointless, as they both compete (probably for the same enzymes).

Even the story on how the name came about is fascinating, as is the story of the different scientists who discovered what it did/does. I'll now also never forget the role and importance of ALA...

Truly recommended if you want to understand the different "omegas", other fatty acids, saturated vs unsaturated, and their role in humans ...
