Omega-3s: Oxidation Victim or Vanquisher?
Clinical trial further debunks the bogus claim that omega-3 fish fats are easily damaged (oxidized) by free radicals in the body, and require antioxidant escorts
by Craig Weatherby
When you take fish oil, do its omega-3 fats generate damaging free radicals in your body?
The short answer is “no” … despite what some (under-informed) health writers and sellers of fish oil may say.
The myth began because the omega-3 fatty acids found in seafood – EPA and DHA – oxidize relatively rapidly when exposed to air. (Oxidized omega-3s emit the “fishy” smell that signals a spoiled, unhealthful state.)
Years ago, some lab studies suggested that consuming concentrated amounts of fish fats from supplements might raise body levels of the unstable oxygen molecules called free radicals.
|
Key Points
-
Omega-3 fish fats were (again) clinically proven to reduce, not raise, body levels of free radicals and the oxidative stress they can cause in the body.
-
Aussie-French clinical trial confirms the findings of ...
|
Free radicals tend to oxidize other molecules in the body, and this propensity initiates a cell-damaging, self-perpetuating chain reaction call “oxidative stress”.
Despite persuasive new clinical and lab evidence to the contrary, some people keep repeating the myth that dietary omega-3s act as “pro-oxidants” in the body unless you ...

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 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 ...

Omega-3 Summit Report, Part 1 – Metabolism and Diabetes
At our request, omega-3 expert Joyce Nettleton, D.Sc., presents several reports on the recent fatty acid science summit meeting, where top 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 second of the two meetings was 2010 gathering of the International Society for Study of Fats & Lipids (ISSFAL), held in Masstricht, the Netherlands.
We asked expert attendee Joyce Nettleton, D.Sc., to summarize the ISSFAL 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 …
