Fish oil beats electrical heart shock

German researchers demonstrate fish oil is superior to electrical shock in

restoring heart rhythm during a potentially fatal heart attack. Omega-3 fish

oils even prevent sudden death among dogs subjected to intentional heart spasm

in lab experiments. The fortification of food with omega-3 oils could save

millions of American lives but US health authorities fail to establish a daily

requirement for this essential nutrient. Health reporter Bill Sardi investigates

Hi Frank,

 

This is exactly the problem with essential fatty acids. It's extremely

difficult to reach a so called " Recommended Daily Intake " because of the

many influences over its metabolism.

Saturated fats, glucagons, trans fats and alcohol all inhibit EFA

metabolism. B6, Magnesium and Zinc deficiencies can also inhibit

metabolism as well as excessive Omega-6's consumption. Because of these

many influences over fat metabolism, a broadly defined requirement will

be of little benefit to the user. In our research we are trying to

establish intake parameters along with the intake amounts. We are using

EFA testing from Great Smokies together with food journals analyzed by

the KIM software (free from national institute of health). If a person

is able to achieve a vegan diet, then it becomes a reasonably simple

matter to get control over the omegas - but for the majority of

Americans it remains a slippery slop.

 

I wish that the scientific community would create an inexpensive EFA

test so that people could get those tests done without spending 165

bucks each time.

 

 

Respectfully,

Mike Martin
