Part of the blessing, the mixed blessing of having so many studies done on omega-3 is that some of them turn out like you think they are. Some of them don't really find a relationship or an effect. Hardly ever is there a... bad outcome, so to speak. So it's either positive or neutral.

But in the area of depression, supplementation studies have shown some benefits on decreasing symptomatology of depression. Those studies can never be really very long. They're not years long, which is what you'd really want. For that kind of perspective, we look at blood levels as blood levels predicting risk for developing dementia, or I mean depression.

And those typically show higher levels of omega-3 associated with lower risk for developing depression. Okay, that makes sense too. There's been some evidence that EPA might be a little better for depression than DHA. The two long chain omega-3s in fish, so maybe we could get in that if you want to, but there's certainly a link.

I mean, is the omega-3 supplementation going to do just as well as an antidepressant? Yeah, maybe not, but we're talking about nutrition here. We're not talking about, and usually it helps with the drug, taking them together. But there's strong evidence. Like you said, I'm a scientist, and I try not to get too emotionally excited or too I don't want to speak beyond the data.

So I see that because I'm aware of studies where they didn't see an effect. of omega-3 and of course studies that do see an effect. So I have to be a little balanced. And the thing is with omega-3 and this goes across all of our discussions is they are completely safe, completely safe. There is no downside.

to taking omega-3s and there's lots and lots and lots of potential upsides, some strongly confirmed, some strongly suggested. But when I always look at risk benefit ratios to anything you do in life, if the risk is virtually zero and the benefit is potential and strong, I think it's a favorable ratio. That's why I go for it.

Yeah. But like you said, what matters is what happens to you.
