EB. 107: Omega-3s DECREASE Lifespan and INCREASE Disease?


Listen Later

In this episode we discuss:
  • Studies showing that omega-3 consumption decreases lifespan and increases disease processes 
  • The potentially harmful effects of omega-3 usage during pregnancy on offspring 
  • The impact of omega-3s on inflammation, endotoxin, and mitochondrial respiration 
  • The data in native cultures showing that omega-3 intake doesn’t improve cardiovascular disease or mortality 
  • Extremely healthy populations that consume high-carb and high-saturated fat diets with almost no omega-3s
