Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Queen of Fats
Susan Allport · 2006
76/100
👍 Worth It
Susan Allport tells the story of omega-3s the way a good detective tells a case — tracing where the evidence led scientists across decades and continents before landing on a clear nutritional conclusion. It is engaging popular science that makes biochemistry genuinely readable. The 2006 publication date means some research has moved on, so treat it as an excellent foundation rather than the final word.
