Fish oil…krill oil…omega-3's…
It's that one mysterious buzz word at the end - omega-3 - that really grabs people.
They don't know what it is - just that it has something to do with anti-inflammation...So they buy it and swallow the hype.
That's being duped...
Most people take fish oil to stop INFLAMMATION, thinking it will protect the heart.
It won't. It never will...in fact, swallowing highly processed oils will harm you.
In Archives of Internal Medicine, researchers published that "taking omega-3 fatty acids did not reduce the risk of cardiovascular
problems, whatsoever."
Their conclusion: We found "insufficient evidence" of a protective effect against future cardiovascular events in heart patients taking omega-3 fats.
Translation: Choking down omega-3 fish oil pills has no benefit. It's a waste of money.
I mean, think about it...Do you really think man was meant to suck down highly processed pills of fish oil?!?
According to the National Institutes of Health, fish oil is the #3 most widely used "health supplement" in the U.S. Roughly 10% of Americans have been duped into believing fish oil is good for them.
People are mesmerized by the phrase "omega-3 fatty acids" - which are believed to be the holy grail for soothing the flames of inflammation.
(They're not.)
People are even more hypnotized by EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and DPA (docosapentaenoic acid) - all of which are derived from highly processed fish oil supplements.
In my book Over-The-Counter Natural Cures: Expanded Edition, I wrote that these marketing terms have become a religion - nutritionism. Instead of seeking real food, people seek real food terms, phrases, and marketing buzzwords that they have "faith" in or "believe" they work.
Does anyone even have a clue what they're really eating under the reign of nutritionism?
Nope…but that doesn't matter.
The words are appeasing and they know other people eating the same crap. They even hear celebrities talking about them. So it's cool to brag about taking "omega's" at a party. It's the latest trend! All the cool kids are doing it!
Here's the ugly truth:
Fish oil pills are HIGHLY PROCESSED and TOXIC.
They're a waste of your money…AND they could be damaging your health.
Especially your kids (or grandkids)!
A New York Times article reported that "Omega-3s may raise prostate cancer risk." In a study, men with HIGHER levels of omega-3s in their bodies were found to have a 44% increased risk for low-grade prostate cancer and a 71% increased risk for high-grade cancer.
In fact, a March 2015 New York Times article pointed out, "The vast majority of clinical trials involving fish oil have found no evidence that
it lowers the risk of heart attack and stroke."
Dr. Andrew Grey, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, said, "The sales [of fish oil supplements] are going up despite the progressive accumulation of trials that show no effect."
These are solid studies! Well designed, well tested, and tested again, the science over the last 20 years is not up for discussion.
So it's pretty much pointless to take omega-3 fish oil pills.
They're crap.
Who is behind the hype? The makers are, of course - BIG PHARMA!
Let me be clear…fish oil is a product of Big Pharma, not nature!
You don't need fish oil pills…Pass on them.
To be healthy, just eat lots of HEALTHY unprocessed fats from grass fed
beef, salmon, coconut oil, cod liver, avocado, seeds and nuts.
Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in generous amounts in servings of grass-fed meat, whole eggs, wild-caught fish and pemmican. And better than their "pill counterparts," food source omega-3 fats are accompanied with a host of micronutrients and other healthy fats required to increase functional lifespan.
And if you want a REAL supplement that can thwart inflammation…then you need to be taking TURMERIC LOADED WITH CURCUMINOIDS.
Curcuminoids are nature's real answer to inflammation.
If you don't know about turmeric and curcumin, then the Big Pharma marketing noose has already choked you out.
It replaces fish oils…not to mention synthetic vitamin D, toxic calcium pills, store-bought multi-vitamins, and over 200 prescription meds!
