Older women with higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their blood had slightly less brain shrinkage than women with low fatty acid levels in a new study.

The results may suggest that omega-3s protect the brain from the loss of volume that happens with normal aging and is seen more severely in people with dementia, the researchers say.

who writes these headlines? would it have cost em too much to use enough words to describe the concept a bit more clearly?

[cuban leaf]

Headline clearly implies that omega 3 is linked to brains aging faster.

[MeshugeMikey]

indeed it is!

perhaps the author or editor for that matter....has a REALLY Really Lousy DIet??

[Paradox]

The author of the headline clearly needs to take more Omega-3’s...

Ihave been taking LARGE doses of fish oil and feel good when I do.

Go buy some and try it.

Don’t take one per day- take 5 at once until the bottle is gone. I have taken 10 in a day once when I felt like i did not have enough.

If you take magnesium with it, the magnesium does not give you the hershey-squirts as much too.

I swear I first saw the first word as, “Obama”.

I will not respect the government until they ban dihydrogen monoxide. I’ve signed countless petitions, but nothing is ever done about this killer substance!

There have been a lot of conflicting reports on OTC Fish oil, including increased levels of Prostate cancer amongst men whom take it.. It appears that EPA is highly desirable while DHA not so much.

EPA is showing to be a bit of a miracle cure. There have been recent articles about the profound improvement of patients with severe head trauma whom where given the Fish oil derivative EPA(eicosapentaenoic acid) Pure EPA without DHA was approved by the FDA for high triglyceride (over 500 mg.) and marketed by Amarin Corp. in a medicine called Vescepa. Unfortunately it is a medicine that you will probably never hear of as the FDA has been playing Big Pharma back pocket games by blowing up an SPA >Special Protocal Agreements with Amarin for a wider indication use of their drug.

You have the dreaded ‘Obama on the Brain’ syndrome. I don’t think Omega-3’s will help.

[MeshugeMikey]

BAN ATTACK DHMO'S NOW!!!

[onedoug]

Oh, God. Please... No!

[Red Badger]

The editor needs more Omega-3 fatty acids, obviously.................

[MeshugeMikey]

That would be a good start. Indeed.
