The whole purpose of what's called a meta-analysis is to take all the different studies that are good or bad and look at how they all outweigh, good and bad way, outweigh each other and have a total impact.

There is no question in the world at this point, if you look at the evidence, fish oils have a very, very protective role for cardiovascular disease.

And they actually have more studies showing even the higher the dose you take may even have more of a protective effect.

So your typical dose in most of your studies is like 1,000 milligrams, which is like one fish oil.

Some studies are now showing 5, 10 capsules, 5,000, 10,000 milligrams of fish oils can have a huge impact.

And fish oils like EP and DHA, they for sure impact the brain and they impact the blood vessels.

The two areas of our physiology that are vulnerable as we get older to inflammation, deterioration,

anatomy changes, and so forth.

So in the blood vessels, fish oils protect the vascular endothelium.

They have anti-inflammatory effects.

They have anti-platelet sticking together aggregation effects.

And they really, really slow down all the different mechanisms that lead to clotting, strokes, and plaquing.

In the brain, fish oils dampen the microglial cells from being so active and inflamed all the time.

They have anti-inflammatory effect.

And then fish oils also support neuron membranes so they can be more efficient in how they have neurotransmitter signaling and ion exchanges that are happening.

So it works fantastically.

So it's almost, you know, at the point where.

If you really were a true scientist, I'm not talking about biased.

If you were really looking at the evidence and you look at the abundance of information published on fish oils and you look at all the meta-analyses done in the literature, peer-reviewed literature, it would make no sense to not be taking fish oils on a regular basis.

Officials would be up there.
