Program Description:
The Global Nutrition Translation has resulted in a marked
increase internationally in the intake of vegetable oils, rich in
short chain omega-6 fatty acids. Supplementation with long-chain
fatty acids from fish and plant sources may help reduce the risk
of obesity, many age-related chronic disease and support immune
function. Modern biotechnology has made supplementation with
lipids an important but underutilized component of dietary
modification. There will be no mention of any specific products
in the symposium and both fish and plant lipid sources will be
discussed and contrasted rather than solely concentrating on any
single source of long chain omega-3.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the role of DHA and EPA in immune function.
- Describe the role of long-chain fatty acids in human health and brain functioning.
- Describe the role of lipid supplementation in the global epidemic of obesity.
