The authors would like to correct a typographical error in their recently published paper [1]. In the original article, there was a mistake in Table 1 as published. In Table 1, the correct Total Calculated Energy From Protein for ω3 diet is 22% (instead of 10%) and Total Calculated Energy From Lipids for ω3 diet is 10% (instead of 22%). The corrected Table 1 appears below. The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused and state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. The original article has been updated.
