Guest guest Posted October 6, 2000 Report Share Posted October 6, 2000 This is from our new brochure on Vegan Nutrition in Pregnancy and Childhood by Reed Mangels, Ph.D., R.D. and Katie Kavanagh-Prochaska, Dietetic Intern: " DHA DHA is a fatty acid which appears to be important for eye and brain development. It is found primarily in animal derived foods. However, babies can make DHA from another fatty acid called linolenic acid which is found in breast milk if the mother's diet includes good sources of linolenic acid (flaxseed oil, ground flaxseed, canola oil, soy oil). " The brochure is available for a SASE. Mail to PO Box 1463, Baltimore, MD 21203. Davida List Moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
