This article is about diet. Where is the source that says that women have stored reserves of omega 3 that are depleted with measurable impacts on later born children?

Omega-3 stays in your body for only about 6 months and must be continuously replenished. This can be an issue over the course of a single pregnancy. But it's not something that gets progressively depleted over multiple pregnancies.
I'm sorry, do I need to post a biology class in here too? I can post the study about how women with bigger butts have smarter children due to higher Omega-3 availability, and the study detailing the depletion during pregnancy, and the study I already posted on Omega 3 in the diet.

Or, the idea that building a human depletes resources could be relatively uncontroversial, because duh.

Please post those studies I want to seem something.
