OK, so fish oil isn’t going to make you lose those extra 30 pounds you’re carrying. But it appears that keeping your omega-3 intake high, and your omega-6 intake (meat, poultry, warm weather vegetable oils) low, may contribute to making it easier to maintain a healthy weight—not to mention a healthy heart, healthy brain, healthy joints, healthy immune system, etc. etc…..

A recent study found:

Higher blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids may help reduce obesity, according to a new study from Australia’s University of Newcastle.

Omega-3 levels in people who are a healthy weight are 15 percent higher than in those who are overweight, the researchers reported in the British Journal of Nutrition.

  1. I liked your bio. I like to suggest changing your web template to make it easy to read. you are knowledgeable and can help people a great deal, but first, your site has to be more friendly to use. I am not a web developer, but can give you a point or two how to make your web site better.

  2. Dr. McKee.

    Ester Thaler referred a friend who told me you might respond to questions. i am a complementary veterinary medical practitioner with a health problem, not oncological, resistant to mainstream.
