hmm ~ olive oil ~ I really can't imagine a researcher that ignorant of olive oil that he'd try an omega-3 test up against it. were they expecting a difference?

Now, how to fry fish in olive oil ~ first, catch a fish!

[muawiyah]

This study was done in Italy on Italians who consume vast quantities of olive oil every day ~ the place is drenched in olive oil.

3 g? I use more than that to fry an egg!

The test was literally DROWNED OUT!

it has so many other benefits.

I can attest to that. I'll keep quiet and just keep taking my fish oil. I DO NOT need to convince anyone else to benefit myself.

these are much the same folks who survived the viking mini-ice age extinction period(without even having the benefit of metal tools).

They are tuff.

Is n-3 the same as Omega-3?

Thanx for Post #49.

I have to laugh when I see that the placebo is OLIVE OIL (which you bolded).

When I came down with a disability, more than 10 years ago, my HDL went from 45 down to only 35, because I did practically no exercise, and spent so much time in bed.

Then I heard about olive oil raising the HDL, and after taking maybe 1 - 2 T. a day, my HDL increased to about 60. My doctor said that was very impressive.

sorry, but I think this is a bunch of bull.... there are many other studies out there, EPA and DHA should be a staple item for life, from infancy to your senior years.
