Don't tell me you don't have time. Mothers of yore who had waaaay more work than we'll ever know put a dinner on the table at night. Now we have crock pots and awesome stoves/ovens, better knives, refrigerators, Tupperware for storage, grocery stores five minutes away that have everything we could possibly want.
I dug and dug, unwilling to expend more than 30 minutes on this tripe: This ‘not recent’ study fails to identify which fish oil. Thus, all results are presumed biased.
Full disclosure: I have a working theory - with my own clinical evidence - that all fish oil supplements have very, very little (if any) viable O3 content due to required processing. If this study used Cod Liver oil, the additional vit A & D content would severely bias the study results.
If you read the study carefully, it has the same signatures as prior studies which brought us the ‘lipid hypothesis’ (one red flag).
The fact that they fail to identify the origin of the oil in any publicized data is yet another glaring red flag, imho.
Don’t run out and buy up ‘fish oil supplements’ just because a few enterprising researchers saw some beneficial (to their careers) correlation results in mice.
If the government really gave a crap, they’d have had a clever campaign akin to Ovaltine for “Eat your fish,” rather than throwing good $$ away on bad research to benefit supplement marketers (another glaring red flag, given the NIH/covid lesson).
Free advice.
Exactly correct. This is utter crap about fish oil— in the fathers???? That won’t change the metabolism the kids have from the father’s genes. Silly research.
The #1 reason for childhood obesity is SUGAR intake (in any form but in prepared foods as corn syrup/high fructose additives as sweeteners and bulk agents, and SUGAR as either cane sugar or high fructose corn syrup again in beverages- any brand of sodas one cares to consider. Huge consumption of these caused over the last 20 years a meteoric rise in Type 2 diabetes in juveniles (pre-20 year olds) most of whom were also grossly obese. Made even worse by lack of physical activity sitting in front of computer screens- no real exercise either in school or out of school. Fat pre-teen and teen.... slobs. And diabetic ones at that.
The ADA identified this years ago. Fish oil isn’t going to help the children if their daddys take it- and it won’t help them either if THEY take it.
Forgetful of the studies in 2013-14 that fish oil consumption by men greatly increases the risk of prostate cancers.
*FR threads back then reporting the studies and findings.
