[senco-forum] good book

From: "The Bodiens" <bodiens at emirates.net.ae>

I was very fortunate to hear Dr Alex Richardson give a lecture on Omega fish 
oils etc a few years ago. She was incredible. I couldn't make any nores as 
she talked - I just had to hang on to every word - she really explained why 
we need highly unsaturated fatty acids etc - I doubt anyone without a 
scientific background could have understood but I was enthralled. If anyone 
gets the chance to hear her - go for it - she seems to be lecutirng all over 
the world most of the time. I will certainly read her book as it's bound to 
be first class
