Anyone have info about this quote I found, "Approximately 8% of the brain’s weight is comprised of omega-3 fatty acids" - http://www.lef.org/Magazine/2010/8/Omeg ... me/Page-01
I'm wondering if we have data on how much that varies according to dietary intake.
"Lipid composition of the normal human brain: gray matter, white matter, and myelin" - http://www.jlr.org/content/6/4/537.full.pdf
For those with immune responses in the brain - as detailed in Dr. Datis Kharrazian's "Why Isn't My Brain Working" - if the omega fats increase inflammation as much as Peat says, then they're a likely mechanism for these immune responses (and resultant effects like brain fog and gut-brain axis innervation).
Similar ones I haven't finished going through yet:

https://books.google.ae/books?id=qwbhnq ... ed&f=false (can't link the whole book, unfortunately)

This is of interest (coconut oil): Can anyone post the full article? http://www.researchgate.net/publication ... erent_Fats
