Fish Oil and Omega 3 Fatty Acids

Posted on by

Dear All, This is my response to Dr. Barry Sear’s Fish Oil, omega-3 fatty acid video. Thanks for watching! For more information on fish oil and what fish to eat, please check out my blog: bostonmedicalstudent.wordpress.com Here is more info: 1) For a general overview of omega 3 fatty acids, this is a good summary: lpi.oregonstate.edu This Newsweek article is also a good summary (it’s a shorter article): www.msnbc.msn.com 2) For my video, I relied primarily on: Lee et al., Current Clinical Applications of Omega 6 and Omega 3 Fatty Acids. Nutrition in Clinical Practice 21:323-341. This is the review article written by the faculty and doctors at Harvard Medical School. Other random, but interesting facts: “There have been a number of clinical trials assessing the benefits of dietary supplementation with fish oils in several inflammatory and autoimmune diseases in humans, including rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis and migraine headaches. Many of the placebo-controlled trials of fish oil in chronic inflammatory diseases reveal significant benefit, including decreased disease activity and a lowered use of anti-inflammatory drugs.” From: www.jacn.org “As such, at the moment, there is some expectations of benefits and a reasonable certainty of no harm (from omega-3′s).

  3. This past September I was hit with what I thought was food poising (lasted a long time). Blood test came back good except for my cholesterol! It was at 230 with my LDL at 167! Dr told me to start taking Omega-3 and I never did(scared it would make my stomach feel worse).? In November I had another blood test done and my cholesterol was at 206 and LDL at 142. Today (Dec 16) is when I took my first Omega-3 pill. My stomach feels better but the whole thing gave me BAD anxiety! I hope the Omega works

  5. Hey all, has anyone tried the psoriasis social network psoriasissocial. o r g ? A? dedicated social network where a psoriasis community discuss psoriasis causes and psoriasis medicine.

  6. if it doesn’t work for you immediately and there are bad side effects like fishy smell in sweat and burps don’t worry, if you don’t usually eat fish your body doesn’t really know how to process it immediately. after eating fish more often you will be able to process the fish oil, so maybe you should think about? changing your diet slightly before buying a huge pack of fish oil pills.

    but i’m also in the medical field and i researched alot about fish oil, now i’m starting to take this :D
    but how much is the ideal amount to get the maximum benefits?
    is 1g. enough? and is it okay to take up to 3g?
    is there such a thing as taking too much? or is it okay?
    i don’t have any underlying disease and i’m pretty healthy. but i just want the maximum benefits for ? the future.

  12. before i would masturbate 8 times a day on an average and feel weak and if i abstain from sex or masturbation it would make me one furious angry man at work
    i started having strange sexual fetishes like enjoying to sniff my girlfriends queefs and farts sniffing her sweaty hairy armpits, she would enjoy pissing on my chest

    but after omega 3 life is wonderfully sane ?

  16. any oil or fish that has been in the air more than one hour after its fished it becomes RANCID? !! bad for the human body to comsume !!!! and after it has been through the process of distillation…its dead like the? rocks on the moon !! omega3 supplements are a multimillion dollar industry !! .

  17. Hi I have questions about omega 3. I have seen products that have majority EPA and another products that have majority DHA in pill form. Which one is? better, majority EPA or majority DHA? And for salmon oil supplements, how come they are so low in omega 3. if they are so good for you? If you choose an omega 3 supplement, which one would you? rather have? more EPA or more DHA? Does EPA converse into DHA in our bodies? when we need it? Or vice versa? Thanks
