Yes, I agree that, in general, EPA and DHA are more critical and beneficial to one's health (if forced to choose). The good thing, as you pointed out, is that most of us don't have to choose. We can incorporate all three (EPA, DHA, and ALA) and get more well-rounded benefits. I just want to make the point that ALA does provide significant health benefits, which is especially helpful for vegetarians/vegans who cannot rely on fish oils.
Thanks for the discussion!
