?The most beneficial omega-3 fatty acids come from fish, fish oil, and

the ?right? kind of omega-3s, they still contain significant levels of
saturated fat and cholesterol, which increase the risk of heart disease.?

Hold it right there.

Any scientist who can make that sort of blanket statement without
further qualification and support has lost any credibility.

But what if a senior staff attorney makes that sort of statement?

Yep - egg on my face there :)

I must admit that it never occurred to me that a knowledge of the
biochemistry of eggs and their effects on humans was part of legal
studies in the USA.

You guys certainly have a wide-ranging law syllabus over there.
