> It is difficult to be sure precisely how much DHA we need, as DHA conversion rates and availability can vary significantly depending on age, gender, genetics, and dietary composition Vegetarianism/veganism has the same problems with calcium and B12, as those are typically gotten through animals in omnivore diets. It doesn't mean that vegetarianism/veganism is bad, just that you have to be conscious of your diet. We have a phrase in our house: "You need to eat all the colors." We include a wide variety of foods in our diet, and milk replacement products with calcium. As a critical thinker, it bothers me when something says "Well, we don't understand what this relationship is or its importance; therefore, you should conclude.." Seems like a hit piece on vegetarianism/veganism more than anything else. Nevertheless, recognizing the importance of certain fats in your body is a good thing.
