In the same way, more research will have to tease apart how other nutrients in a balanced diet — including antioxidants — work together to influence the effect of individual nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids.

This, the last sentence of the article, is the most important part of the whole.
They don't know what the combinations do , but our bodies do.
Much biochemical research was frowned upon back in the 70's, (I wish I had saved my old literature from college to provide references) when articles surfaced about it - Omega 6,9 - from Europe/ Germany, etc. - however thats the only place with requisite studies in the supplemental arena by practitioners before recommending their use by patients. Their research is far more intense compared to the U.S., and not stiffled by the A.M.A. or those other Medical 'powers that be' looking for any way to deny supplements usefulness in the public nutritional regimens.
As Mark relates, their studies, or many studies that make fast "news" - flashes have flaws.... publish the reports, show the proofs publicly, not just a CNN report with picked spot reports.... publish the reference to be publicly reviewed.
Current research here is looking for single nutrient usefulness , not combination nutrient usefulness - because to do so means the business world of the large Pharmaceutical companies can't "refine" it to make it "better" and patent that product, to charge the public more for the product, when its already available at a more reasonable price from other companies in combination form..... such as Puritan Pride, or any of those you all deal with.
