About three-quarters of the global population are not meeting recommended intakes of the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, according to a new global review led by researchers from the University of East Anglia, the University of Southampton and Holland & Barrett. The authors highlight large gaps between guidelines and actual consumption and call for clearer policies and more sustainable sources to address what they describe as a public health concern.

The recommendations highlight kiwifruit, rye bread, and mineral water as helpful, while questioning the benefits of general high-fiber diets. Supplements like psyllium, probiotics, and magnesium oxide also show promise.
