The food and dietary supplement industries have promoted an increased consumption of omega fats. In developed countries such as the U.S. and Canada, intakes of long-chain n-3 PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acids) are below recommended levels for optimal health. The UK Department of Health sets this at 1.5g per week and the British Nutrition Foundation at 1.25g per day.
