Colleagues,

In response to the posting below:
Linoleic is an omega-6 fatty acid, and  while it does help clear 
triglycerides from the bloodstream following meals (among other things), I 
believe it is the omega 3 fats such as alpha linolenic acid, and the EPA and 
DHA in fish fat that are most effective in reducing levels of total 
cholesterol and LDL.
