Do note eating Omega-3s from fish is considered our best source.
I wouldn’t sign up for an experimental study where I had to have repeated spinal taps. eek
A major step forward is that researchers in the future will be able to examine the biomarkers in blood samples rather than having to perform spinal tap procedures on the patients.
“We have already tested this approach at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. Without a doubt, it is so much better for the patients.”

gee, ya think??
I take the Spring Valley Fish, Flax and Borage Oil gel caps.
Do note eating Omega-3s from fish is considered our best source.
That’s debatable for various reasons - including consistent dosing, mercury and other contaminants in fish, and cost.
Thanks for the tip. I figure most those Omega 3 tablets are tastless, and better safe than sorry.
It’s not hurting anything.
Some of my now deceased relatives were firm believers in taking Cod Liver Oil every day. My first reaction to that?
“Yuck!”
So they discovered that fish is brain food?
Somehow my grandmother knew that decades ago.
Free advice:
No amount of Omega 3 will work if there’s no effective reduction in Omega 6.
Furthermore, if the pendulum swings too far - due to ‘supplements’, not food - you end up in the same boat.
Yes, too much Omega 3 is akin to a poison, just like too much Omega 6. So are cheap sources of Omega 3 supplements (most O3 supplements are utter garbage).
Do you know how much it costs to subscribe to ConsumerLab.com? I checked, but one needs to give your email address first and I’m trying to cut back the promo emails I receive.
What the researchers can see, however, is that there are differences within the group given omega-3. There was an increase of two of the markers that are linked to damaged nerve cells.O3 caused an increase in damage markers???
