Walnuts, flaxseed and other vegetarian sources of omega-3 do not provide EPA and DHA but rather a precursor (alpha-linolenic acid) that the body must convert. This conversion is inefficient at best and often inhibited by high intake of the fats common in processed and fast food...

But if you can pay the tax from other funds, converting is a no-brainer...
...with that genetic pedigree are perfectly primed for diabetes. "It's not simply that Western food is causing diabetes but that different body types, influenced by genes, respond to the same food differently," says Dr. William Hsu of the Joslin Diabetes Center. With no famine, these genes continue to convert food into glucose and fat. Excess glucose levels build up gradually in the blood, and insulin, which normally keeps glucose levels in check, can't keep up. After years of this metabolic treadmill, diabetes can develop...
