Thread: Fatty Acid in Fish May Arrest Alzheimer's

yay! there's hope for albob yet!

Take my country for an example, we just don´t ingest omega-3, how come everybody old doesn´t have Alzheimer ?
I wonder what other nutrients those rats that developed the disease were not taking too.

I think there are alot of other reasons for it. For example, aluminum has been linked to it. Most deorderarnts have it. Processed foods have many preservatives in them, including those that have also shown to contribute to various diseases. The list goes on.

I don't totally avoid some potential harmful things, but I do use natural deorderants, soaps, and buy organic foods for the most part. I don't use alot of the supplements on the market, but I do use some. The ones I use are primarily based on what's good for the body, not necessarily the muscle.

Oh, I do get a good intake of the Omega fatty acids. Another thing, I use coconut oil instead of veg oil (if you haven't tried it, do yourself a favor and get some).

Personally, I believe the more natural foods you eat, the better off you are. Buy organic if you can, but non organic veggies are better than none.

do you guys eat a lot of fish in Brazil ?

A study I read on American-Japanese men in Hawaii who are known to eat alot of Tofu, are more at risk to suffer Dementia and Alzheimers than Native Japanese. It could be because Native Japanese eat a lot more fish than American-Japanese who are more incline to eat beef, pork and chicken.

What's scary is that soy has been touted as the best source of protein for Vegans and they are less likely to get any Omega-3's in their diet, are they on a crash course to become mindless zombies? That's why I'm an Ova-Lacto Vegetarian and rarely eat Tofu or soy products.

The eskimo's have far less alzhiemer's disease and multiple sclerosis which may be explained by this. I believe the African Bantu tribes and european gypsies have similar protection that may not be explained by the omega 3's though. Either way, the omega 3 's have fantastic heart protection data, bipolar disease treatment data and cholesterol lowering data so I advocate it for its protection against the number one killer in America, heart disease.

No. Funny thing, a highly popular tv show presented to us flax seed a couple of weeks ago because it contained a miracolous substance. lol
Our basic food intake is rice and black beans with meat.

Man TV must suck in Brazil.

Actually we have the third best television network. CNN - BBC then Globo.
If that gets boring, we go to the beach.
