"There are three major omega-3 fatty acids, also known as n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs). These are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). The most widely available dietary source of EPA and DHA is fatty fish which includes salmon, herring, mackerel and sardines. ALA, on the other hand, is found in plant-based foods such as green leafy vegetables, nuts, flaxseeds and vegetable oils. When consumed, the body converts ALA to EPA and DHA. Increased consumption of omega-3-containing foods, fish in particular, has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease"--Page 3. Omega-3 fatty acids Canada Statistics.
