Everyone has been told that fish oil, commonly called omega-3, is good for your health.This has now been proven wrong. Its time to take a look at the truth about fish oils. Fish oil consists only of an inferior and potentially harmful form of omega-3s called “derivatives.”
Everyone has been told that fish oil, commonly called omega-3, is good for your health.This has now been proven wrong. Fish oil consists only of an inferior and potentially harmful form of omega-3s called “derivatives.” Omega-3 derivatives are NOT essential EFAs.
There are only two true essentials humans must consume from food or supplements every day—“parent” omega-6 and “parent” omega-3. Your body cannot manufacture them.
Be aware these parent EFAs are not found in fish oil! Your body only needs a very small amount of those derivatives, and it makes those out of parent EFAs as needed. Just 1%-5% of the parent EFAs turn into derivatives; 95% STAY in parent form.
The Truth about Fish Oils
Overloading on omega-3 derivatives from fish oil can be extremely harmful to health (causing severe physiologic overdose). Preliminary research often overlooked these critical facts, but landmark new research in 2009 and 2008 enlightened the medical community.
Real-life clinical results prove that patients show marked improvements when they change their daily EFA supplementation from fish oil (omega-3 derivatives) to a much more complete and biochemically correct blend of PARENT ESSENTIAL OILS (PEOs).
Based on the latest, most comprehensive new science in 2009-2008, it is clear that a proper combination of parent omega-6 and parent omega-3 is so far superior to fish oil and other EFA supplements, that it completely replaces everything else.
2009/2008 IMPORTANT REVERSALS you need to know:
The Truth About Fish Oils
2009 Major Newsflash: American College of Cardiology:
• Fish Oil DOES NOT STOP heart attacks. — “we saw no beneficial effect.”
2009 Major Newsflash: American Heart Association Champions Omega-6:
• “‘[P]owerful anti-inflammatory…’
• “To reduce omega-6 …more likely to increase risk for CHD [heart attack].”
2008 Newsflash: The Importance of Parent Omega-3:
• Greater parent omega-3 = fewer heart attacks.
• Fish consumption didn’t stop heart attacks.
2008/2005 Major Newsflash: EFA Derivatives Made “As Needed”:
• “[E]ffectiveness of ALA [parent omega-3] conversion….”
2008 Newsflash – WARNING: Diabetics need to know…
• “Diabetic patients have the highest risk of coronary artery disease.”
Summary
1. AHA (♥) clearly states need for Parent Omega-6
2. AHA (♥) says Parent Omega-3, but NOT fish oil, lowers heart attack risk
3. Body makes derivatives from Parents “as needed”
4. AHA (♥) WARNING: Diabetics are at greater risk for Coronary Artery Disease
