A "SUPERMILK" containing Omega 3 fatty acids derived from oily fish is to go on sale this week.
It is produced by cows which are given a special fish oil blend along with their normal feed. A 250ml serving contains ten times more of the Omega 3 acids known as DHA and EPA than regular milk but is said to taste the same.
Omega 3 fatty acids tackle heart disease and ensure healthy nails, hair and skin.
Claire Williamson, a nutrition scientist at the British Nutrition Foundation, said many people in the UK do not eat the recommended one portion per week of oily fish.
"Consuming oily fish is linked to a decreased risk of heart disease," she said.
"A healthy, balanced diet is the best approach and I would encourage people to eat oily fish, but if people don't like it we have to look at alternatives."
According to the Food Standards Agency, Omega 3 fatty acids are found in certain vegetable oils, but these may not have the same benefits as those in fish. The Fresh Omega 3 milk will go on sale at Marks & Spencer this week.
hehe .. Greek specialty!
Enjoy!
UNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGH! I used to eat all that stuff when I was little. Now I know better :o)
Makes me ill just thinking about it too. Don't like people messing with milk. I LOVE MILK! See my white moustache?
Um, cyborg, morning sickness isn't supposed to happen for a while yet...
can't be much worse than lutefisk
So, it's basically soul food.
Does it go well with Lousiana Hot Sauce? :-)
"A FReeper advised me to get the Omega 3 Fish Oil capsuls that have a COATING on them.
I bought it at Sams. Pricy, but VERY worth it. No fish burps ever :)"
My cat loves fish burps.
Well petronski did spend the weekend. My mon was giving me the evil eye as she handed me my gingerale :o)
Apparently Long John Silver's has infiltrated Scotland.
lol
LOL!
"can't be much worse than lutefisk"
Is there anything worse than lutefisk? I'm from a long line of Norwegians who actually eat that stuff. When I grew up and moved away I swore I'd never eat it again. I think Norwegians just eat it to prove how tough they are. LOL
(actually, if it's served piping hot and dipped in fresh butter, it's not THAT bad) Someone help me! LOL
She didn't say it but you know how moms are. They speak with their eyes :-)
"She didn't say it but you know how moms are. They speak with their eyes :-)"
LOL! I used to say to my boys, "do you see my face? do you see my eyes? do my eyes tell you annythinggggg????!"
I have 'em in the back of my head too, just like my mom did. I could see those boys comin' and goin'.
eating stuff soaked in lye builds character. much like living in a country taxing 70% or better of what you earn does /sarcasm
From all the terrible things I've heard about haggis, the recipe doesn't look too bad.
But what is paunch ? Is it the lung, or does it get worse?
Like Soul Food interpreted by the English, or in the High School Cafeteria from Hell.
It goes well with anything strong enough to cover the taste.
So9
"eating stuff soaked in lye builds character. much like living in a country taxing 70% or better of what you earn does /sarcasm"
Yea, no kidding. I guess eating all that lutefisk growing up sure built my character. Some say I became a character. LOL
Really? I should have tested my cat out! LOL.
The paunch is the stomach. Enjoy!
