Miner’s Miracle: Our Top Omega-3 Medical Tale
We reached back to remind our readers of a remarkable tale of a recovery … and to draw attention to the superior omega-3 article that alerted us to the story
by Craig Weatherby
Back in 2006, people around the world were captivated by an unfolding drama at the Sago Coal Mine in West Virginia, and the miraculous emergence of its sole survivor, Randal McCloy.
Oddly, very few media outlets focused on the (arguably) greater medical miracle that followed Mr. McCloy’s rescue … or its implications for deterring brain damage in similar circumstances.
McCloy’s doctors presumed that he would face serious brain damage, because he’d been breathing air full of carbon monoxide and lost consciousness before being rescued.
He later described his pre-rescue situation to the Charleston Gazette:
“As my trapped co-workers lost consciousness one by one, the room grew still and I continued to sit and wait, unable to do much else. I have no idea how much time went by before I also passed out from the gas and smoke, awaiting rescue.”
(CG 2006)
Here’s the story again, including a link to an outstanding 2006 article published by Men’s Health magazine … which provided the best overview of omega-3 nutrition and health topics we’ve seen in a popular magazine.
If you missed it the first time around, we suspect you’ll find the story as surprising and inspiring as we and many readers did.
Miner’s "Miracle" Leads Stellar Omega-3/Health Summary
Top researchers quoted as deploring authorities' failure to push for increased omega-3 intake

Antioxidant Nutrients May Help Cardio Health
Clinical trial shows improvements to artery elasticity and blood cholesterol profiles in people with cardiovascular risk factors
by Craig Weatherby
Antioxidant nutrients like vitamins C and E, selenium, and beta-carotene have long been touted as aids to cardiovascular health.
They’ve been tested in recent clinical trials, and scrutinized by scientists who analyzed existing epidemiological and clinical evidence.
But the results have been mixed, both in terms of decreases in cardiovascular risk factors and actual reductions in heart attacks and sudden cardiac death.
As researchers from Boston University School of Medicine wrote in a recent evidence review, “Antioxidant supplementation has not been generally associated with better cardiovascular outcome[s] …” (Chakrabarti S, Freedman JE 2010)
Now, the results of a small clinical trial in people with multiple cardiovascular risk factors add to the positive side of ...

Canola Oil Controversy: A Reader’s Note and Our Response
We called canola high in omega-6 fats, and that was an overstatement; We maintain that, despite their omega-3 content, canola and soy oils should be shunned
In short, we noted that, compared to the diets we adapted to over millennia, Americans now consume far too many omega-6 fats, and too few omega-3 fats.
Until about 200 years ago, most people consumed omega-6 and omega-3 fats in ratios that averaged 3:1 (i.e., three parts omega-6 fats to one part omega-3 fats).
That historically low omega-6/omega-3 ratio is still seen in the diets of remote hunter-gatherer societies, which tend to have far lower rates of ...

Weight Gain and Omega-6 Fats
Omega-3 expert Joyce Nettleton, D.Sc., presents the second in a series of reports on news from the recent fat-science summit meeting
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 Maastricht, 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.
Her first report concerned omega-3s’ apparent or potential impacts on metabolism, with implications for the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and the diabetes it often forecasts. (See “Omega-3 Summit Report, Part 1”.)
Tonight, we present the second of her reports, with this one focused on the role of dietary omega-6 fats in weight gain and control.
Omega-6 fats constitute far more of American’s fat intake than they did just 200 years ago, and much more than ...

Roasted Sablefish with Glazed Baby Carrots & Lemon-Butter-Caper Sauce
Today’s recipe comes to us from Matt Wright, who as he says, is “an English bloke” now living in the Pacific Northwest where he pursues his passion to cook, photograph, and write about simple, clean food.
Matt especially loves to prepare beautiful seafood dishes, and you can check them out, along with Matt's other delicious recipes, at his WrightFood blog.
Here’s how Matt describes his sablefish recipe, which he demonstrates in a video posted below the recipe.
“Slow roasting of fish is something that I don’t see a lot of people doing at home. I have no idea why. This is the absolute perfect technique for oily fish like sablefish (black cod) or salmon. It is also the least ...
