Yeah. But like you said, what matters is what happens to you.
Right. And, you know, people can try this and maybe they'll start eating fish and they don't feel any different. OK, no harm, no foul. But the odds are it's going to make a difference. And it made a difference, particularly if you start really low like you did.

Yeah, we do. And we just published a couple of weeks ago, maybe a large study looking at, again, that what we typically do, omega-3 levels in the blood, DHA, I believe was our primary focus on that one, and looked at risk for developing dementia or Alzheimer's disease. This was in a large group of people in England.

And we found the same story we found in other and others have found to the highest people with the highest levels of omega-3 at the beginning of the study, which is typically put people in their 50s, 40s or 50s when these studies start. The risk for developing dementia is reduced and nobody's going to prevent dementia. Alzheimer's disease. They're not going to prevent dementia.

They're going to put it off until you die of something else. That's the best you can ever hope for. People talk about preventing the disease. What they mean is delaying the disease. And that's what we all want to do. That's increasing your health span. And so the omega-3s are certainly strongly linked with a reduced risk for developing them.

since we have no treatment, whatever, for these debilitating conditions that we all know about and we all fear more than we fear heart attacks by and large, definitely take more omega-3 to help reduce your risk for that. That's a no-brainer, pardon the pun.

Yeah, in that category, the studies have looked... The ones that have been most effective have used pretty high intakes of EPA and DHA, maybe three to four grams a day, which is the typical American, just for perspective, typical Americans eating that's not taking a fish oil supplement is getting maybe... 0.1 to 0.2 grams a day of EPA DHA, 100 to 200 milligrams a day in their diet.
