To me, Peat's notions on PUFAs and serotonin are the most important ones to grasp.
- forloop 10y agoI agree. People should make up their own minds. When I see studies like the following (grabbed from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's Twitter feed) it makes me question his position on fish oil. I also found fish oil beneficial to my recovery process, after I got cognitive problems following MB. Studies: * Study links omega-3s to reduced mortality[0] * Consumption of omega-3s linked to lower risk of fatal heart disease[1] * Lower risk of bowel cancer death linked to high omega 3 intake after diagnosis[2] * Omega-3, omega-6 supplement improves reading for children[3] * Stroke-like brain damage is reduced in mice injected with omega-3s [0] https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2016-06/g-slo062216.php https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2016-06/g-slo062216....

- teslabox 10y agoI was convinced by the advocates for Omega 3's. Then my dogs destroyed my cofffee grinder (used to make flax seed meal), I realized that I'd never noticed a benefit, and stopped. The modern diet is overloaded with Soybean Oil, an oil which should only be used as biodiesel. It takes years of a low-PUFA diet to obtain all the benefits. Some degree of temporary relief may be provided by Omega-3 supplementation, but this intervention doesn't address the cause of any condition.
