Sure. Great to be on your show. Thanks for the invitation. Yeah, that particular finding, we were part of a large collaboration of a bunch of what we call cohort studies. A cohort is just a group of people that gets recruited in a certain area, like in Boston or in London or whatever. And

The investigators will draw blood samples at the beginning of the study and then they just keep in touch with these people over the years to see how they do, the diseases they develop. Then we look backwards and we look at omega-3 levels in the blood from when they started the study and see what diseases happened, who died, who didn't die, things like that.

the paper you're talking about, we looked at omega-3 levels in something like 150,000 people, 18 different cohorts, and we put it all together and we looked at the people at the highest omega-3 levels, the highest 20% versus the lowest 20%, and those that had the highest 20% were like 10 to 15% less likely to die during that period of time that we followed them up.

Obviously, you wait long enough, everybody dies.

Just to be clear on that. Right. We are not, this is not immortality we're talking about, but it does seem to make you live on a higher omega-3 is associated. I have to be careful. I'm not saying the effect of omega-3 is to make you live longer because we haven't. done that intervention study, supplementation study, and nobody ever will do that study.

But all the evidence is pointing to the association between high omega-3 and longer life, healthier life, better health span, as you said.

That is definitely correct. I think if we look at the top three, nutrients that have scientific research papers published on them. You've got vitamin D, folic acid, and omega-3. And omega-3 has only been on the radar since the late 70s. And I'm talking about all the history of medical publications, okay, back into the 1800s.
