Northwestern Medicine study reveals Chicagoans lack omega-3 fatty acids in diet
Northwestern Medicine’s Dr. Daniel Robinson joined WGN’s Evening News at 4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 24, to discuss why the group of polyunsaturated fats is so essential for human health.
“We were able to survey just over 1,000 parents in Chicago, and we had parents who lived in every neighborhood represented across the city. Using just a relatively short list of questions, we could estimate the amount of omega-3 fatty acids — two, specifically called EPA and DHA — so we could estimate how many omega-3s the parents were consuming through their regular eating habits,” Robinson said.
The general recommendation for adults, Robinson adds, is about 250 mg per day on average.
