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 does from Flax Seeds.
It is prime reason why American & Canadian Heart Associations, American Eye Institute, European Food Safety Authority, Alzheimer's Foundation ~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 have confirmed 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. Manufacturers masked their Fish Oils acrid taste with flavorings; but according to 'Consumer Lab' ~a highly reputable institution involved in testing for purity, potency, contamination, and sterility~ 82% of Fish Oil tested from 2014 to 2022 compromised consumers' health because of unacceptable oxidation.
4.- Producing Fish Oil creates a highly undesirable condition: large quantity of fish flesh 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 quite significantly reduce plaque buildup, blood clots, arrhythmias, stroke, and cholesterol for one reason: they consumed nutritious foods ~including fish rich in DHA & EPA~ throughout their lives.
The mastermind behind Mother Nature is generous providing us
such marvels of creation; but we must consume them in enough
quantities, often enough, for long enough, starting early in life.
