The Best Fish Oil In The World!

Those who delve into health issues and particularly into supplements should all know by now about the sometimes seemingly miraculous benefits of Omega 3 fatty acids when included in the human diet. If you have forgotten or don't know here is a short list.

• Brain Health - Depression and bi-polar conditions are ameliorated. And many people claim better memory


• Cholesterol & Heart Disease – Omega-3 promote an increase in HDL (the good cholesterol) while decreasing LDL (the bad cholesterol) as well as decreasing triglycerides.


• Stroke Prevention: - Helps make your blood more "slippery" to help prevent blood clots as well as heart attacks.


• High Blood Pressure - This is probably a function of the above.
  Anti-inflammatory - This helps with arthritis as well as many many health issues that have an inflammation as a major or minor component.

I can't continue this because the list goes on and on. The above is a good summary but go here if you wish to learn a little more. By the way, that link I gave is not complete either!

I want to point out that the benefits of omega 3 fatty acids are not really miraculous at all. The deficiency of omega 3 in the human population is a direct result of factory farming. Cows do not eat corn or soybeans naturally and yet they are forced fed this crap. If cows were grass fed their omega 3 content would be much higher. Same with chickens. Chickens should be eating grass seeds and insects not corn and soybean meal. I suspect it's true of pigs as well.

Returning our life stock to the natural foods they were meant to eat would produce more omega 3 fatty acids in their meat, specifically, their fat. Until that happens or until you can afford to buy organic pasture raised meats, supplements is the only way to go.

So I recommend my favorite omega 3 supplement which I believe to be the best omega 3 fish oil on the market. It is from Life Extension. Click on the bottle for info.

Click on bottle for detailed information.

You can get omega 3 fish oils anywhere, even at Costco but you really don't want it from that source. I really do not want to beat down on all the great omega 3 fish oil supplements out there because if you are taking them they are better than nothing. I prefer the Life Extension brand because they have one ingredient that I believe essentianl; and no, it's not the olive fruit extract. Its the seasame lignans that exite me. Why you ask. Because they prevent racidicy in the bottle and in the body!

Sesame lignans enhance in vivo effects of fish oil supplements:

The unstable nature of fatty acids like fish oil limits their biological efficacy in the body. Scientific studies show that when sesame lignans are supplemented with fish oil, the beneficial effects are augmented. Sesame lignans help guard against lipid peroxidation, thereby extending the stability of DHA in the body.* These lignans also direct fatty acids toward pathways which can help with inflammatory reactions.* Super Omega-3 provides standardized sesame lignans to enhance the overall benefits of the improved EPA/DHA fish oil blend. (This is from the product information if you click on the bottle.)

The observed higher thermal stability of edible vegetable oils after addition of sesame lignans suggests that: sesame lignans may have potential application as natural antioxidants in the edible oil and food industry; blends of sesame oil with preferred oil(s) might increase the antioxidant potential of oils; and therefore, blending of vegetable oils with sesame oil may be more effective than the addition of synthetic antioxidants," wrote the authors in the journal Food Chemistry. http://www.foodnavigator-usa.com/Science-Nutrition/Sesame-lignans-could-be-edible-oil-antioxidant-study

Very compelling indeed.

Protect Our Food Supply – Stop NAIS!

Please sign the petition at the above link.

The National Animal Identification System (NAIS) poses the greatest threat to local and sustainable agriculture since the Nixon administration. NAIS was originally designed to give huge corporations help with export markets. It will not stop animal disease or improve food safety. NAIS will only enrich the corporations that already control most of our food supply. Under NAIS every single livestock animal in the United States will be identified and tagged. All livestock animal movements will be tracked, logged and reported to the government. Big factory confinement farms are allowed to use a single ID for thousands of animals. Small farmers, pet owners, and homesteaders will have to tag and track every single animal, in most cases using electronic ID.There are *NO* exceptions - even small farms that sell direct to local consumers will be required to pay the fees and file all the paper work on all their animals. The USDA has not done a cost-benefit analysis. Based on estimates from Australia and England, NAIS could cost anywhere from $30-$69 per animal on average. The costs include the tags, the labor and equipment needed to tag each animal and file reports of the movements within 24 hours, and the massive databases needed to track over 100 million animals. Factory farms can use group ID to avoid many of the costs, while small farmers could face even higher costs. Those who refuse to cooperate with NAIS will be subject to heavy fines or even criminal penalties. NAIS is not legislation but a program designed by USDA bureaucrats with the help of businessmen and manufacturers of ID tags. The Solution: The Obama Administration should direct the new USDA Undersecretary of Marketing and Regulatory Programs to stop implementing NAIS. This action would have tremendous positive impacts on small farmers and poor communities across the country, as well as promoting environmental and human health by supporting the local, sustainable agriculture movement. Protect our food supply, please stop NAIS!

The Queer Vegans

The vegans claim that I am attacking humanity by denying the humanity of the animals. We HUMANS--the rulers of the world--EAT MEAT. Oh my. I have just one question: What humanity are we talking about when lions eat meat? Yet, we cannot kill lions because it destroys the "eco balance"? Please give me a break. Vegans are so foolish to destroy themselves and condem the world to soy. Obvisouly, intelligent people will not fall for such stupidity.

As Prof. Carl Cohen lectured, Why Animals Do Not Have Rights. I think every veganite and those leaning in this direction needs to hear this lecture.

Animals (that is, non-human animals, the ordinary sense of that word) lack this capacity for free moral judgment. They are notbeings of a kind capable of exercising or responding to moralclaims. Animals therefore have no rights, and they can havenone. This is the core of the argument about the alleged rightsof animals. The holders of rights must have the capacity tocomprehend rules of duty, governing all including themselves. Inapplying such rules, the holders of rights must recognizepossible conflicts between what is in their own interest and whatis just. Only in a community of beings capable ofself-restricting moral judgments can the concept of a right becorrectly invoked.

Or read this short essay by Russell Madden. Here's a quote.

If a gazelle has a right to its life, does the lion then not have a right to its life since it needs to kill the gazelle or some other such animal to survive? It is also true that humans are animals. If a lion somehow does not violate the rights of a gazelle when it hurts it or kills it, how can a human do so? (And does a lion violate a human's rights if it kills and eats a person?)

...People who advocate the myth of "animal rights" are at best ignorant of what rights truly are. At worst, they are anti-human, preferring that a humanity "infecting" the planet and disturbing "Nature" or "Gaia" be obliterated. Their anti-rational actions serve only to dilute and destroy the very concept of "rights." Promoting the moral position of animals over people -- the mantra that a rat is a pig is a human -- undercuts the distinctive and unique quality of free will that makes us who we are.

Why Soy Is NOT a Health Food

Differentiation of ALA (plant sources) from DHA + EPA (marine sources) as Dietary Omega-3 Fatty Acids for Human Health

It is truly annoying and mind boggling to keep hearing the vegans claim you get enough Omega 3 from non-meat sources. They refer to flax, walnuts, canola oil, etc. as sufficient sources. In their foolish quest to rid the world of meat eating they fail to realize that this Omega 3 is ALA (a-linolenic acid) not the superstars DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). All of the research showing the myriad benefits of Omega 3 oils is based on DHA/EPA not ALA!

Omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids)…Certain plant sources (and derived vegetable oils) such as flaxseed, canola oil, walnuts, etc. contain significant amounts of the plant-based omega-3 fatty acid known as a-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3n-3). …Flaxseed and other plant-derived oils are totally lacking in DHA/EPA combined whereas DHA/EPA are found in fish/fish oils which contain very minor amounts of ALA. ….

…A recent study seeing flaxseed oil rich in ALA has confirmed a moderate rise in circulating plasma lipid levels of EPA plus DPA (but not DHA); the authors suggest that this rise, although moderate, in EPA plus DPA might possibly mediate any beneficial effects towards cardiovascular health derived by the consumption of flaxseed oil. It should be noted herein that the published literature using deuterated ALA suggests conversion efficiencies of dietary ALA to EPA plus DHA (combined) ranging from 5-15% overall….

While the claim is made that ALA supplementation does seem to improve cardiovascular outcomes I find the claim rather dubious. A 5% -15% conversion rate? And what about DHA which is essential for the development of the brain?

Furthermore:

Several factors inhibit conversion of ALA to it's long-cchain Metabolites (EPA and DHA)

• A diet high in LA (common in US) can inhibit conversion by as much as 40%
• A high maternal intake of linoleic acid (Omega 5 from corn, safflower oil, etc.) inhibits conversion to EPA and DHA reduces n-3 availability to the developing fetus
• increasing the ratio of n-3 to n-6 fatty acids in the diet with ALA may not enhance neuronal DHA levels in infants
• Saturated and trans fatty acids inhibit ALA desaturation and elongation
• Ethanol inhibits conversion of ALA to EPA and DHA
• a deficiency of any of the vitamins and mineral co-factors (vitamin B3, B6, C, Zinc and Magnesium) required by elongase and Delta-6 desaturase may inhibit conversion of EPA and DHA
• Loss of Delta-6 desaturates activity that occurs during norman aging
• Certain health conditions such as diabetes and drugs, inhibits Delta - 6 saturase activity and prevents conversion of EPA and DHA
• Certain populations, such as North American natives, Inuit, Orientals, Norwegians, and Welsh-Irish may not effectively convert ALA to EPA in the body

I think I have heard enough about how wonderful ALA is as an Omega 3 source. Have you?

How our vegan diet made us ill

Just another article pointing out the hazards of the pure vegan diet.

There were other oddities: "I remember going to the supermarket and buying butter for my older children. Lizzie, who had never had butter in her life, would grab the packet and gnaw into it," says Paige. "It was really disconcerting. I would be thinking, 'What is going on? Here is this purely fed child – why would she need to do this?' I was so brainwashed into thinking dairy products are bad for you."

Vegan Diets are deficient

Vegan subjects and, to a lesser degree, subjects in the LV-LOV [lactovegetarians or lactoovovegetarians] group had metabolic features indicating vitamin B-12 deficiency that led to a substantial increase in total homocysteine concentrations. Vitamin B-12 status should be monitored in vegetarians. Health aspects of vegetarianism should be considered in the light of possible damaging effects arising from vitamin B-12 deficiency and hyperhomocysteinemia.

The full report is linked in the title. Please know that high homocysteine levels are a marker for heart disease. A vegan diet increases these levels the most.

You should also read the abstracts here (scroll down to Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences)that also discuss the unhealthy aspects of low carnosine levels in vegan/vegetarian diets. Carnosine is only found in animal flesh.
