IN PRAISE OF FISH OIL
By OLIVENE GODFREY
I've been reading lately about the many benefits of fish oil.
Son Barry and I have been taking fish oil supplements and eating fresh grilled fish for sometime now. And, we can testify to the truth of some of the findings of researchers.
.
A recent study found that the fat in salmon and sardines saved more lives than did staten drugs such as Lipitor and Zocor,
But, the articles said don't quit your statens without consulting with your doctor as more tests are needed.
According to an article on the Internet, health benefits attributed to omega-3 fatty acids are smoothing blood flow through constricted arteries of heart disease patients, lubricating painful joints in rheumatoid arthritis patients, cutting risk of women of breast cancer and preventing an intestinal inflammation known as Crohn's disease.
One recent study concluded that chemicals in the fish oil
were believed to be at work in the test subjects brains.
The study showed the omega-3 fatty acids effect the brain in a similar way to the effect of anti-depressants although the mechanism by which either work wasn't certain.
It seems clear that more tests are needed on fish oil but no drug company is likely to conduct tests as the fish oil can't be patented or profited from.
See you next time.
