The Mind-Blowing Science of Omega-3 Fatty Acids for Heart Health, Brain Health and Longevity (Rebroadcast)

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.

Vitamin D has been known for many, many more years, as so has folic acid. Folic acid got a lot of interest, of course, when it was figured out that it related to birth defects. So any event, omega-3 has gotten a lot of attention and it's one of the top threes, but one of the top like five molecules in, you know, add aspirin, add prednisone, add other medicines and how much research they've had.

That's a fair statement. That's the reality, right? Fish is a great way to do it. You got to pick the right fish. You got to be consistent with it, but it's very doable. But most people will not be doing it. So they'll take supplements and dietary supplements, omega-3, EPA, DHA are definitely fine for increasing your blood levels and your tissue levels.

Yeah, okay. So, right, to back up, that's a study we did as part of what's called the Framingham study. It's a big, very famous cohort that a lot of research has been done in. And we looked at the omega-3 levels in the blood of these people. And then we looked at how long they lived from the time we screened them.

I think they're about 65 years old when we screened them, when we measured their omega-3 levels. And then we followed them up for about 10 or 12 years. So between, say, 65 and 75. Some people died, some people didn't, right? Some people were smokers, some people weren't smokers.
