Scans of mummified Inuits from 16th-century Greenland revealed that the ancient hunters suffered from clogged-up arteries despite a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
Atherosclerosis — the build-up of plaques of fat, cholesterol and calcium in one's arteries — is a leading cause of death today in the world's wealthier countries. While often seen as a product of modern lifestyles, evidence of the condition has been found in human remains dating back as far as around 4,000 BC.
However, none of these examples enjoyed a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which has been suggested can help protect against plaque build-up.
Researchers turned to four incredibly well-preserved Inuits, who would have eaten a marine-based, omega 3-rich diet, to see if the fatty acid improved arterial health.
The findings suggest that diets rich in omega-3 may not guarantee against plaque buildup — however, the researchers caution that it is unclear what other factors were at play.

Look it up instead of publically proclaiming your ignorance, it’s less embarrassing that way.
Lol.
How about you just cite your source?
Very cool articles, thanks. My source of information was the Alaskan Native Museum in Anchorage, it is the teachings of the Elders, the actual beliefs and customs of the Inuit tribe.
Not scientific, but fascinating. Scientifically, chlorella is a powerful mercury chelation substance when taken orally something they should not have known but do.
“however, the researchers caution that it is unclear what other factors were at play.” Bingo. The idiots know it all-—until they confess.
So one pound of polar bear meat equals 450 eight oz glasses of carrot juice, or 90 times the maximum daily intramuscular dose of vitamin A.
The Inuits believe the mercury from all the fish in the seals diet concentrate further in the bears as seal is their primary food all winter.
Dunno, just love esoteric information.
Thanks again for the links...
You say that like an FR post is a term paper, or as if Google doesn’t exist. Or as if the post was specifically intended to convince or impress you in particular.
Actually even my term papers back in the day considered anything that’s in more than two sources to be “common knowledge” not requiring a citation. And the people who read those papers were the sort of people that one might want to impress.
Ironic
Yes no modern day self respecting mummified Inuit would choose to live there and let their arteries clog.
That’s why some arctic people ate the stomach contents of caribou
Yes...but did they know that 500 years ago.
Mummies were living? The first zombies? Night of the living dead?
There are medicines used by millions of women for acne and skin care which contain Vitamin A. This may not be a good idea. https://theskincareedit.com/2016/07/21/retin-a-toxic
Living mummies. Zombies v.2. There’s a reason for editors.
“Mummified Inuits living in Greenland 500 years ago suffered from clogged-up arteries.”

I don’t see this as a traffic problem as long as the main thoroughfares were drivable
The post was addressed to me. It contained a declaration you aren’t backing up. Vitamin A toxicity from eating polar bear liver is common knowledge.
I’m guessing that you believe your term papers make you an authority. Kinda like Obama’s term paper on nuclear nonproliferation qualified him to go toe-to-toe with Putin.
Probably figured it out pretty quickly.
They also enjoyed a diet of seal blubber and whale blubber.
I’ve said it before, but genetics is greatly underrated as a source of health problems. I had a massive heart attack last year at this time. My father died of heart disease when he was one year younger than I was when I had the heart attack. We lived completely different life styles. He drank and smoked most of his life. I was a body builder for over 30 years. There were long periods in my life where I would jog 3 miles 3 times a week and lift weights for 1.5 to 2 hours 6 days a week. I ate enough tuna fish and baked chicken to feed an army. But I could not beat genetics.
In a footnote, the researchers found Happy Meal wrappers nearby.
Thanks fieldmarshaldj.
