| What are omega-3s?
Omega-3s are one of two families of essential fats, i.e., those fats we cannot make ourselves and must consume in our diet. Omega-3s originate in green leaves (not fish, as many believe), and they accumulate in animals that eat green leaves -- including fish, of course, which eat phytoplankton, the green leaves of the ocean. Omega-3s are highly concentrated in all our speediest tissues : eyes, brains, hearts, etc; but they're necessary for the optimal functioning of every cell in our body. | 
| Where do Susie's Smart Cookies get their omega-3s from?
The omega-3s in Susie's cookies are all natural and come from walnuts, flax, and canola: three seeds that happen to be rich in these fats. (Most seeds are rich in a second family of essential fats: omega-6s, which compete with omega-3s for positions in cell membranes.) | Are these the long chain omega-3s that people talk about? No, but they are from the same family and can be turned into those long chain omega-3s -- DHA and EPA --by enzymes in our bodies. Conversion works best, though, when you have a healthy ratio of omega-6s to omega-3s -- no more than 4:1 -- in your diet. Susie's Smart Cookies have a ratio of less than 3:1. | Where can I buy Susie's Smart Cookies?
