That omega-3s are good for you has been known for a very long time. What is different here from most pop-science news articles is the acknowledgement that not all saturated fats are bad for you. Despite the BS about avoiding fat we’ve been told all our lives, fat is good for you, carbs and sugar are what is killing us with heart disease and cancer.

Your name “pepsi_junkie” is probably no lie. Sugary foods are addictive and hit our dopamine receptors hard and makes you hungrier and hangrier. Then the over consumption of sugar triggers a wide range of conditions including type-2 diabetes, high blood pressure, arteriolosclerosis, fatty liver, and metabolic syndrome to name a few.

I do intermittent fasting of 24 - 72 hours and eat high fat / low carb on the meals in between. So no need to school me on the evils of sugar. My comment wasn’t on the value if Omega-3, it was on the fact that almost all nutrition science isn’t actually science since it’s basically impossible to do real clinical studies. So they fake it with meta-studies, which are junk and why we get an article one week about how eggs are killing people, the next month how they are making people live longer.
