It’s worth it to get more DHA. This comes primarily from fish and supplements. The form of Omega-3 in plants is ALA, which only converts to EPA and DHA at a 15-20% efficiency.

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Email me to get on either the “Common/Top Issues” (20% fewer pings) or “Everything” list.

This can’t be true. Every fish I ever caught was pretty dumb, and aptly called “a sucker”. J/K

I dispute the 15-20%. It’s closer to 5% and only that high in women (lower in men, an enzymatic thing).

Thus this list I found in a quick internet search is total bullshit:

Top 10 Foods Highest in Omega 3 Fatty Acids
1.Flax Seeds.
2. Chia Seeds.
3. Fish (Salmon)
4. Walnuts.
5. Firm Tofu.
6. Shellfish (Oysters)
7. Canola Oil.
8. Navy Beans.
9. Brussels Sprouts.
10. Avocados.

This list is appropriate (minus the non-fish items):

12 Foods That Are Very High in Omega-3
1. Mackerel ( 4,580 mg per serving)
2. Salmon ( 2,150 mg per serving)
3. Cod liver oil ( 2,438 mg per serving)
4. Herring ( 2,150 mg per serving)
5. Oysters (329 mg per serving)

I left the sardines & anchovies off the list because they’re typically canned, and the canning process destroys the fragile O-3. If you can find them fresh and tolerate them, go for it.

Fish must be cooked low & slow (think poached) to retain health benefit.

Otherwise all you’re eating is fish flavored chicken.

Cod liver oil must be fermented, otherwise the likelihood is that it’s been processed and had negligible O-3, if any at all.

Reminder: All supplements are unregulated. Most fish oil capsules are a total rip-off and likely unhealthy IMHO.

I prefer river trout because it’s low in mercury and not exposed to Fukushima contamination.

Bacon has Omega-3

[chiller]

Study shows people with a high omega-3 DHA level in their blood are at 49% lower risk

Therefore, may we conclude;

... people with a low omega-3 DHA level are at 51% higher risk.

Very convincing...WTF. Analytics comes to medicine.

>> reduction in the risk of developing all-cause dementia

Eat healthy today for better living today.

Unlikely there’s a near term cure/salve for dementia. And that’s not to say we should stop trying.

Currently this is in the eggs good for you/ eggs not good category. IMHO YMMV

Read later.

[ckilmer]

yeah I read the blue zone studies which showed that a omega 3/6 ratio of close to 1 to 1 was characteristic of these area. Rhonda Patrick a big longevity commentator on youtube said the optimal omega 3 supplementation is about 4 grams daily.
