OMEGA 3 IS ABOUNDENTLY FOUND IN SOME FISH. It is known as DHA & EPA. Omega 6 is found in Flax Seeds and known as ALA. It is not significant the number of people aware that DHA & EPA provide ~by comparison~ higher health benefits than ALA from Flax Seeds.
American & Canadian Heart Association, American Eye Institute, Alzheimer's Foundation, European Food Safety Authority ~to mention some institutions~ insist on consuming DHA & EPA twice weekly. They all place trout, mackerel, some tunas, herring, sardines, and salmon as fish with the highest concentration of DHA & EPA.
• Little Known Facts •
1.- Capsules with '1,000 mg' of Fish Oil contain 300 to 380 mg of DHA & EPA which is good for a 30 to 40 pounds dog; but in his 20s, a man should consume 3.5 ounces of Mackerel twice a week which carries a whopping 3,300 mg. of DHA & EPA. As life progresses, that quantity of Omegas still remains optimum, but twice a week as the organizations above purport is not enough.
2.- In the past, experts recommended Fish Oil to minimize risks of Coronary Artery Disease which causes heart attacks; but it turned out to be incorrect. Today's Scientists know very well that Fish Oil had never minimized risks of Coronary Artery Disease as it was claimed.
3.- Fish Oil retailed in the U.S.A., and sampled, was found to be rancid or exceeding acceptable oxidation levels. Those Fish Oils acrid taste were purposely masked by artificial flavorings. According to 'Consumer Lab' ~a highly reputable institution involved in testing for purity, potency, contamination, and sterility~ 82% of Fish Oil supplements tested from 2014 to 2022 compromised consumers' health.
4.- Producing Fish Oil creates a highly undesirable condition: large quantity of fish is wasted.
• A Few Did What Is Right •
Humans who made the French Mediterranean Diet part of their lives since childhood developed excellent health. The same applies to Eskimos in the State of Alaska in the U.S.A. and Japanese people. All three groups significantly reduced the risk of stroke caused by plaque buildup, blood clots, arrhythmias, and cholesterol for an identical reason: throughout their lives, they consumed nutritious foods including fish ~rather than capsules~ rich in DHA & EPA.
The mastermind behind Mother Nature is generous providing us
such marvels of creation; but we must consume them in enough
quantities, often enough, and for long enough.
