Question: What are some foods that are high in omega 3 and low in omega 6? All i can find online is mainly fish. Are there any other foods that are also high in omega 3 and low in omega 6?

Answer: Purslane: http://www.jacn.org/cgi/content/abstract/11/4/374 But like flaxseed, it may also contain omega 6 fatty acids in proportion with omega 3 fatty acids and flaxseed also contains omega 9 fatty acids but not sure about purslane. But there may be a higher ratio of omega 3 in purslane. Sea buckthorn contains omega 3, 6, 9 and the unique omega 7. The latter which is a known lubricator in the sense it helps secretions such as tear formation where there is a tendency to dry eyes and vaginal secretions where there is a tendency to dryness. I think fish oil is the only food supplement that will give you omega 3 fatty acids alone. Chickens grazing on purslane produce high omega 3 eggs: http://www.wildgardenseed.com/index.php?cPath=49

Question: How much Omega 3 does a cheap can of tuna contain? I was told that experts originally thought that the canning process damaged the Omega 3 but they now know that it doesn't. If this is true then how much Omega 3 does a cheap can of tuna contain?

Answer: To get the most omega 3 fats from your canned tuna, choose water-packed tuna rather than oil-packed. The oil mixes with some of the tuna's natural fat, so when you drain oil-packed tuna, some of its omega 3 fatty acids also go down the drain. Since oil and water don't mix, water-packed tuna won't leach any of its precious omega 3s. Canned in water and drained, 6 ounces of light meat tuna typically provides a little less than .5 gram of omega 3 fatty acids, while light tuna canned in oil and drained provides a little more than .3 grams of omega 3.

Question: Omega is important for small growing children's brain development why is it priced to high? How do health nutritionists expect everyone to comsume their daily recommendation of Omega when it's out of their budget?

Answer: Remember that the oil actually has to be extracted form the fish or flax seed. I work at a store and when we get a discount on wholesale prices, it's passed along to the customer. Relatively speaking herbal and food supplements are less expensive than insurance deductibles and pharmacy costs. Also, in this day and age, we don't get enough out of our diets and foods: for example, selenium is an important mineral, and there isn't as much found in food anymore, because the soil is depleted. If you get a liquid oil, get one stored in glass, as plastic can leach into the oil. I think "medicine and health" is the best thing a person can spend their money on. Flax seed in bulk is inexpensive, like, two dollars a pound: grind it up and add it to smoothies or food.

Question: In Omega 4 section of Mass Effect 2 and Miranda is not loyal. How can I keep her alive without her being loyal? I have a save just before I'm supposed to go to the Omega 4 relay but after the crew has been abducted. I don't want to lose more crew (already set to lose Chambers) but Miranda is still not loyal. Is there any way to keep her alive without having to gain back her loyalty? Or is that the only way to keep her alive?

Answer: Don't give her any special assignments and don't take her to the final boss. When fighting the boss the rest of the squad that's not with you has to be a strong defensive group to fight off collectors. Miranda will end up in this group so make sure Garrus, Grunt and Zaeed aren't fighting the boss either so you have a good defensive second team. Take squishy characters to the boss instead. It's recommended to send Mordin back to the Normandy first and then taking Tali and Jack to the boss.You'll have one offensive team fighting with you and one defensive team with a disloyal Miranda who will survive. So this setup for instance would work: Vent specialist: Legion Fire Team leader 1 & 2: Garrus Biotic: Samara Crew escort: Mordin Final squad: Tali & Jack
