>Hi Larry and others who have contributed to this thread!!
My question relates to GAMMA linoleic acid (GLA) found in Evening Primrose Oil (EPO).
I was firmly of the belief that consuming GLA in the presence of Fish oil (especially the EPA and DHA content therein) was actually beneficial as the fish oil has the effect of pushing the GLA found in EPO down a pathway whereby the body converted the GLA to ANTI-INFLAMMATORY prostaglandins in the human body.
Is my belief correct and does GLA in the presence of fish oil actually enhance the beneficial effects of both these oils (ie these oils act synergistically in the body)????
How does this relate to the Adelaide study cited above???
thanks guys
