Does anyone know the origin of the name "omega-3 fatty acids"? Somewhere I heard that the name derives from the shape of the molecule. If that's so, is the molecule shaped like three omegas or like an omega and a 3? --- Dan Tilque -- dant@mrloog.WR.TEK.COM "There are no Communists left in China." -- Chiang Kai-shek, 1939
