I agree it sounds more like an opinion rather than based on a proper scientific study. Since ALA is a precursor for DHA even if only creating limited amounts; consume enough of it then you'll make more than enough DHA. From this pubmed study I can see flaxseed/walnut oil is going to provide enough ALA for this purpose https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2989356/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2989356/.

But to the contrary it was packed with data and what appears to be fact-based backup. The problem is I don't have the domain experience to know if the facts are correct. But unlike most articles that surround popular trends, this one passes at least the first gate in that it has facts.
