Omega 3 still does a lot of good regardless.

Not even when the fish oil is fortified with extra strength placebo?

Have some ‘hope’, have some ‘change’....take heart, the liberal ‘progressive’ humans now in control of the research arm of our country (aided by our Government) are doing their level-best to promote the wonderful benefits of applying embryonic [code word for aborted baby] stem cells to treat these debilitating diseases, mind you only of the body. What’s the problem? These ‘cells’ were just ‘harvested’ from unused fetal tissue that nobody wanted. What’s the problem with that? Devils....

If you actually look at the research (not just read the article), then you will find (in most instances) that it was done in a to make these results. In other words it financial benefits the pharmaceutical companies BIG TIME! Translation it’s a bogus study and results.

I have seen so much of this B.S. time that I just laugh at these studies. How you can tell if its crap right off back is if financially benefits one group big time. Then you can pretty much tell you its crap.

Fish Oil is fantastic for you. Don’t fall for one of these bogus studies.

It might be suggested that giving omega 3 (as a single form remedy) to a full blown Alzheimer’s patient would constitute a poorly designed study. On the other hand, giving omega 3 to unfit 9-10 year old children with impaired cognitive skills
might stand a chance of demonstrating a positive impact.

That would make you a shill for the fish oil supplement industry.

I really don't have a problem with what you say. I don't have a problem with most reasoned approaches to medicine. What I have a problem with is ‘feelings motivated’ medicine related to Democratic/Progressive policy solely for the benefit of satisfying a demented voter base. My response to this thread isn't the result of a constantly present zealotry on this - I had the misfortune last night to sit through a sob piece about some 50 something year old man suffering, blah, blah blah....Emory ‘medical researchers’ blah, blah blah...using embryonic stem cells injected him with millions of whatever.....no problem. Those ‘cells’ weren't being used anyway. Just ‘harvested’ from an aborted fetus. They would have gone to waste anyway.....I get so pissed off about this glibness over life not wanted, yet such vehemence of life not fulfilled of some Democratic moron loser.

Not to hijack the thread or anything, but I object to the term “fetus”.

When someone says they just found out they are pregnant, I don’t think “Well, after a few cellular transformations and a couple of larval stages, followed by the fetus thing, it will be a baby” I just think “You are having a baby!” (from the instant of conception).

I understand. I use that term because that is what ‘they’ use, only they tack an innocuous ‘tissue’ to it. They are monsters.

Oh I see no matter what side you pick you are shill? Never mind facts or logic right? Yeah okay!

Just for the record there is not much money in fish oil compared to the pharmaceuticals companies.

That was your stated logic, not mine.

Just for the record, *that's the problem.*

If studies came out showing this low-margin item to be safe and efficacious, where would the need be for expensive proprietary formulations?

And the need for the testing and regulatory infrastructures would be greatly diminshed as well.

Cheers!

Things seem to be getting crusty. So that brings me to a question. Is a crustacean a shillfish?
