[QUOTE="IntelligentLabs, post: 43637, member: 13584"] Lol that's some reply! They are right in what they say about prescribed Omega 3 being ethyl ester, Lovaza and the others are ethyl ester. They are also correct in saying that you can't purify triglycerides. All triglyceride fish oil is first converted into ethyl esters to purify it and then reconverted afterwards back into triglycerides. It's the reconversion most companies don't do, because it adds around 40% to costs, which is why most fish oils on the market are ethyl ester. The rest is a little silly, I'm not sure who they had write it, but no company should be allowing their representatives to send messages like that. The problem with triglycerides is when there are excess levels circulating in the blood. However, fat ingested in the diet is not often a cause of elevated blood triglycerides. After fats have been emulsified and hydrolyzed most fats (excluding short and medium chain fatty acids) actually enter the lymphatic system as chylomicrons then slowly enter the blood stream via the thoracic duct at the subclavian vein. Because this process is gradual it rarely raises blood fat levels. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacteal[/URL] And here's a good quote from Nutritional Biochemistry and Metabolism by Maria Linder (1991) “The major portion of dietary fat (which has entered the lymphatic system) slowly enters into the bloodstream (as chylomicrons) through the thoracic duct, thus preventing large scale changes in the lipid content of peripheral blood” Generally you tend to see higher circulating triglyceride levels in higher carb diets, because the excess carbs are readily converted into triglycerides and enter the blood stream much more quickly.
