Dear Symposium Delegate:

There has been a dramatic surge in publicity and the appearance of agri-foods enriched in omega-3 fatty acids with a recent emphasis on DHA/omega-3. This trend is expected to rise exponentially in the coming few years based on mounting clinical evidence for the key roles played by DHA/omega-3 fatty acids in human health (incl. brain/learning functioning, visual acuity), the prevention/management of cardiovascular disease, plus other chronic disorders (psychiatric/depression, etc).

The mandate of the forthcoming Dec. 2 event, 'DHA/Omega-3 for Health Symposium', is to bring together the leading authorities on the topic so as to fully inform the agri-food sectors, dietitians, and other health professionals on the scientific evidence (human health/clinical studies), current versus actual dietary intakes, regulatory issues on food labeling/health claims (Health Canada), plus consumer and business perspectives.

We welcome you to this most informative, educational, and stimulating event !

Sincerely,
Bruce J. Holub
