摘要

Long before lab-grown beef reaches your local diner, you may find yourself chowing on a different kind of technologically enhanced meat: the omega burger, fortified with that fatty acid known as omega-3. Health-conscious consumers already seek out canola, flaxseed, walnuts, and soy products rich in beneficial alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid. Even more dramatic effects on human health have been documented with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), the longer-chain lipids found in fish oil. These substances have shown promise for the treatment and prevention of diseases from type 2 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis to asthma, cancer, dementia, and, most conclusively, heart disease. "We could probably eliminate 40 percent of cardiovascular disease in the United States if we could engineer the food supply to have at least two grams a day of EPA and DHA," says biochemist Joseph Hibbeln of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism in Bethesda, Maryland.
