infants fed a DHA-fortified soy formula, and were also found to have a higher heart rate (Pivik et al., 2009). During lactation, low levels of DHA in breastmilk can be due to the higher ratio of linoleic acid to ALA. Linoleic acid is converted to omega-6 fatty acids in the body, and is found in leafy vegetables, grains, and vegetable oils, such as corn and sesame oil. Because linoleic acid and ALA compete for the same enzyme for the synthesis of fatty acids, an increased intake of foods with…

However, what is his religious worldview and how does he present his view in the book of Ecclesiastes? Qohelet argues that whatever men does that does not seem to have a purpose in life, is vanity (4:8, KJV). He argues that a person should be able to…
