I should quit right .. here.
There are no long chain omega-3 in plants. There are long chain
omega-3 in animals and fish products.
Therefore .. ? .. omega-3 and omega-3 are **not** .. the "same" ..
Long chain and short chain omega-3.

The human gut does produce CLA .

So compared to the gut of a cow .. yes .. the human can produce CLA .

As to QUANTITY of CLA .. then one might have to consume plants for a
while to find that out.

True antioxidant becomes non-reactive after accepting the radical or
converts it to water ...

Did you know that .. ?

Since you don't differentiate .. **enough** .. I .. will.

Omega-3 from plants causes no oxidation.
Omega-3 from fish causes oxidation.. depletes vitamin E.

Omega-3 is Omega-3, the supplemental antioxidants in plant material is
what makes the difference.  Whole fish meat also contains furan fatty
acids acting like antioxidant to protect Omega-3 from oxidation.

Think quantitatively, not qualitatively, here Tom.  Can you say that
man's stomach/intestine can compare to the rumen in its ability to
produce CLA?  And even the ruminants need to be grazing all day long
to supply enough material for the fermentation ...
