Omega-3 Gurus Savor Vital Choice Salmon
A huge, shining king salmon from Vital Choice was the dinner centerpiece at London's omega-3 scientific summit
by Randy Hartnell
Last month, we attended two gatherings of the world’s leading omega-3 and fatty acid scientists.
The first, called “A Celebration of DHA”, was convened at London's Royal Society of Medicine by legendary neuro-scientist Michael Crawford, Ph.D., who’s spent decades studying the two omega-3s (EPA and DHA).
EPA and DHA are both essential to human life. While the body can make both (very inefficiently) from plant-form omega-3s, “pre-formed” EPA and DHA are found only in fish fat.
Dr. Crawford has focused largely on omega-3 DHA, which is critical to brain function and overall health.
He’s widely admired and liked in the omega-3 science community, and his gathering drew renowned omega-3 researchers like psychiatrist Joe Hibbeln, M.D., from the U.S. NIH and fetal nutrition researcher Professor Tom Brenna, Ph.D., of Cornell University … plus NIH consultant Professor William Lands, Ph.D., who’s widely considered ...

Does Vitamin K Help Deter Diabetes?
An obscure nutrient, once thought only important to blood clotting, begins accumulating evidence of wider potential benefits
by Craig Weatherby
Type 2 or “adult onset” diabetes affects almost 24 million Americans, or about one in 12.
According to the American Diabetes Association, the annual economic cost of diabetes in 2007 was about $174 billion.
Of that staggering amount, medical expenditures totaled $116 billion and they included $27 billion for diabetes care (mostly drugs), $58 billion for chronic diabetes-related complications, and another $31 billion for other medical conditions promoted by diabetes.
Sadly, “adult onset” – the common term for Type 2 diabetes – is now misleading, because more and more teens and children now develop the diet- and lifestyle-related disease.
The basic prevention prescription includes ample exercise and a diet that meets two criteria:
-
Low in omega-6-rich oils, sugars, and refined starches (white bread, skinless potato, while pasta, and pastries).
-
High in colorful vegetables, beans, herbs, spices, fruits, fatty fish, lean meats, and modest amounts of whole grains.
And for those who struggle with their diet and exercise regimen – and/or are genetically susceptible to diabetes – new findings from Europe suggest that vitamin K may be an ally against diabetes.
There are two distinct kinds of vitamin K, with similar, overlapping effects in the body, and varying degrees of ...

Omega-3 Summit Report, Part 1 – Metabolism and Diabetes
At our request, omega-3 expert Joyce Nettleton, D.Sc., presents several reports on the fatty acid science summit in London, where the world’s leading researchers presented new findings
by Joyce A. Nettleton, D.Sc.
Both were attended by the world’s leading fatty acid research scientists, and featured a wealth of new findings and insights.
The first, called “A Celebration of DHA”, was convened at the Royal Society of Medicine in London, while the second took place in the Netherlands.
We asked expert attendee Joyce Nettleton, D.Sc., to summarize the presentations that addressed various topics, including brain, heart, and metabolic health.
Dr. Nettleton is a widely published expert on omega-3 science and seafood health-nutrition topics. She issues regular fatty acid science updates in her great Fats of Life (consumer-oriented) and PUFA (scientist-oriented) e-newsletters.
Tonight, we present the first of these reports, focused on omega-3s’ apparent or potential impacts on weight control and metabolic health, with implications for diabetes.
Polyunsaturated fats, metabolism and diabetes
An exclusive report on omega-3 research from the 2010 Masstricht meeting of the International Society for Study of Fats & Lipids (ISSFAL)
By Joyce A. Nettleton, D.Sc.
The pre-diabetic condition known as metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of abnormalities that place people at very high risk of developing adult (type 2) diabetes.
The abnormalities that combine to define MetS include:
-
High blood pressure
-
Excess abdominal fat
-
High triglyceride (fat) levels
-
Sticky blood (platelet activation)
-
Low levels of HDL (“good”) cholesterol
-
Insulin resistance and/or glucose intolerance (impaired ability to process sugars)
Of these signs, the key characteristic of MetS is insulin resistance … a weakened response to insulin …

Broccoli Chemical Stems Breast Cancer Cells
Sulfur compounds in broccoli stop creation of breast cancer stem cells; Effect should extend to kale, cabbage, and broccoli’s many “cruciferous” cousins
by Craig Weatherby
As a killer of women, breast cancer runs a distant second to cardiovascular disease ... but that’s no comfort.
Some 94,280 Americans will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year and 40,610 will die from the disease, according to the American Cancer Society.
New findings suggest that sulforaphane – a compound abundant in broccoli, broccoli sprouts, and other cruciferous veggies – might help prevent or treat breast cancer by blocking the creation of cancer stem cells.
A University of Michigan team reports that sulforaphane killed cancer stem cells and prevented new tumors from growing … both in mice implanted with human breast cancer cells, and in cultured …

Does Tea Cut Weight or Fat? Does Green Beat Black?
Black tea may match green for modest weight benefits; both beverages’ greater benefit lies in the power to lower fat levels in the blood and liver
by Craig Weatherby
Leaf through a natural health magazine or stroll through a supplement aisle, and you'll get the impression that tea promotes weight loss.
There’s some truth to that idea … though a recent evidence review suggests that tea and tea extracts may only bring modest weight-control benefits.
And those benefits seem to stem from tea’s caffeine, as much or more than from its unique array of polyphenol-type antioxidants, called catechins.
Last year, researchers from the University of Connecticut reported the results of their review of the evidence from credible clinical trials testing tea for weight-loss and shape-altering effects.
Their analysis indicated that taking supplements containing only green tea’s ...
