Thanks for watching, everyone! Of course, an enormous thank you to Dr. Harris for coming on and the profound impact of his decades of research. You can learn more about Dr. Harris and try out his omega-3 index test to see where you stand by visiting omegaquant.com. As many of you know, our show is not a "product heavy" show, but I really think what Dr. Harris is doing by providing people with a consumer available target backed by science is pretty cool. Make sure to check that out. Additionally, the Fatty Acid Research Institute can be found at faresinst.org. The profound impact of "getting omega-3 right" on health is one of very few cornerstone interventions that are "easy" but still high impact. I hope you enjoy the episode!

There's something satisfyingly... Human... about people who feed their passions and devote their lives to nutrition. If Patrick was Queen of the World, she would become beloved for making the world believe she cares about them. Imagine her traveling the world and teaching the populations how to become healthier. it's a gift that might as well mean to say "You're worth it. You're worth taking better care of yourself." I swear there's a latent potential in her to be a great figure in history. If I'm biased for not saying the same thing of Harris, and many others like him, yeah you're right I'm being politically correct. The world is ready to listen to a voice like Patrick's. That iron is now hot. The way things are I'm sure shel'll continue to have mildly exponential organic (grassroots) growth for the rest of her life.

At one time I was eating three cans of sardines a week. My omega three index was right around 8 but my mercury levels were high. I stopped eating fish altogether and started eating walnuts and flaxseed thinking those will help but my omega o3 index dropped to like 5.32 and epa level was barely above the lower reference limit. Then I started taking fish oil capsules (800mg epa and 600mg dha), o3 index went up to 11.37 after taking the fish oil for about 6 weeks. Now I’m taking 900mg EPA and 300mg DHA. Will test again after 6 months. Apparently I need more EPA. Also since EPA can be converted to DHA as needed, I think the higher epa is needed in my case.

Very interesting talk. Just a point on omega 3 in salmon, it wasn't stated that there would be a great difference if the salmon is farmed or wild! This fact would have a significant effect on the oil quality and the omega 3 content of the salmon, as farmed salmon are fed with pellets (which sometimes also contains colouring) rather than what a salmon would naturally eat in nature, this also goes for cows being fed grains and what ever else to produce as much as man wants to consume cheaply, rather than their natural food, grass. We as a being wonder why we are so sick.

Depending on the grower the coloring fed to salmon is often the exact same molecule that colors wild salmon.

Great interview! Omega-3 is good for lowering TG's but higher doses can increase LDL (due to DHA) but the EPA does not do this. Walnuts and other nuts contain another form ALA (that gets converted mainly to EPA & tiny amt to DHA) and reduces total LDL particles by 4.3% and also decreases TGs by a small amount. In March 2022, researchers found that consuming ALA in walnuts and flaxseeds etc was associated with a 10% lower risk of cardiovascular disease and a 20% reduced risk of fatal coronary heart disease. 1 regular fish oil capsule/day is ok but I would not overdo it. You can decrease CVS issues with just nuts and certain seeds. For weight loss I would stick with fish and some nuts

As I’m sure you’re aware people in many parts of the Arctic (and outside as well) consider “Eskimo” a derogatory term. Although some Alaskan people are ok with the term, we Canadians still prefer other terms, at least in my town(former)and my family. The most widely used is term to replace it is Inuit. I’m not trying to correct the individual using the term Eskimo, only saying that it’s offensive to many and distracts from the excellent info contained within this episode. I hesitated to mention this only because I’m fairly sure Dr. Harris is aware of the controversy around the term Eskimo and chooses to use it anyway, perhaps because when he was conducting his studies the term was still widely used.

I experienced the nose bleeds while taking omega 3 fish oil supplements recommended by my physician. They were quite bad and getting worse over time, with the blood sometimes suddenly gushing out. My physician was baffled by them, as it was in the early days of fish oil popularity in the USA and not much was commonly known. The nose bleeds stopped when I happened to stop taking fish oil due to the “fish burps”. I hadn’t heard of the nose bleed risk. I looked into it and found reports of coastal Eskimos who ate diets high in omega 3 fatty acids getting nose bleeds, with some bleeding to death, like Dr. Harris mentioned. In the decades since I stopped taking fish oil, I’ve never had a nose bleed.

Since nothing helped to reduce the fish burps for me, I decided at the time to try other things, which ended up working better for me, such as gluten grain avoidance.

@@deborahdean8867 I used to take about 5 capsules fish oil daily and no problems but when I replaced them with Krill at recommended level I got nose-bleeding (not badly). Krill contains more omega3 if I recall correctly although obviously it depends on how much you take. I cannot remember levels as I went vegan about 5 years ago so now I take algal omega3. But when I got nose-bleeding I was more worried about potential for brain haemorrhage as I am not young anymore and my mother died of brain haemorrhage (as do a lot of people when you look at the stats). You can now get omega3 index and omega6:omega3 ratio blood tests done fairly cheaply so I just aim to get in the recommended ranges on key readings and then go no higher on dosage, so that is what I would recommend. Get a baseline test and then take minimal amounts necessary to get in the right range on key readings. For the 6:3 ratio the hardest part is reducing omega 6 intake on western diets.

It studies plants and their nutritional values ( preferably heirloom varieties) how these nutrients break down in the body. What nutrients enhance (helps the body absorb) each other. The same for spices like turmeric and pepper. ? What exactly do these individual nutrients do to our bodies and minds. Which nutrients when combined perform better than individually. Now the most interesting part is they are using the high end pharmaceutical equipment to investigate all of this. With this equipment and our ability to splice genes. We can make the best food on the planet more nutritious.

Right now the biggest challenge with microalgal supplements is the concentration tends to be low. It's the right stuff, but getting enough of it in a cost-effective manner proves challenging.

@@FoundMyFitness Thanks so much Rhonda. I'm looking at a daily supplement that contains 250mg Omega-3 with 150mg EPA and 100mg DHA. That seems similar to krill oil supplements I've seen. I also take an ahiflower oil supplement that has 945mg ALA and 384 DHA. Trying to do my best to reduce pressure on fisheries and reduce heavy metal exposure. Hoping this is as good as it's going to get with algae and other plant sources.

Omega 3s helping with smoking risk could be a paradox, because the main weakness of omega 3s is oxidation, and smoking is a highly oxidative activity. So it wouldn't necessarily be that omega 3s "don't help with smoking", but rather smoking is very bad for omega 3s directly.

I steam the salmon fish head first then eat the meat part. I make soup afterward by dumping the leftover into a pot of water then crush it to small pieces with wooden spoon which is super easy to do. After boiling the water turn white then I use a metal filter to filter out the small pieces to liquid only. Afterward, add some salt and onion plus some veggies then I got myself an omega 3 rich soup for cheap. You can also shorten the process by not eating the meat and go to boil the fish head in a pot of water if you just wish to extract the oil into the water in which the whole process can be done under 30 minutes.

36:48 what he explains here is also often bugging me about Vitamin D trials. You should not compare all people that have taken x units of Vit D3 with the control group, but different outcome Vitamin D3 levels. Nobody in their right mind can suggest a Vit D3 dose that would always with everyone. No, you would adjust it to reach a certain level that suggests positive outcome.

I'm thrilled to hear scientists talking about the way large randomized trials (in general) often miss the truth because they ignore all relevant genetic variables (SNPs). This is the elephant in the room of medical science today. For example, aspirin doesn't prolong my bleeding time at all, but many decades ago, there were rare patients who blead to death during surgery because they had recently taken aspirin. (Presumably, the pro-clotting interaction of their clotting factors with their unusually aspirin-sensitive platelets was greatly diminished by aspirin.) No doubt genetic SNPs will someday explain this potentially lethal phenotypic variation. Go Rhonda !!! :)

@Patsy Stone Dr. Peter Attia recommends slow 45 minute cardio session over HIIT. He is not against HIIT, but thinks it should be done once a week with 3 or 4 slow extended cardio sessions. So some experts disagree with your assessment. It is interesting to note that Olympic Sprinters died much earlier than Olympic Marathoners in this study: "Observed-expected survival was highest for high jumpers (7.1 years for women, 3.7 years for men) and marathon runners (4.7 years for men) and lowest for sprinters (−1.6 years for women and −0.9 years for men).". Differences in life expectancy between olympic high jumpers, discus throwers, marathon and 100 meter runners. BMC Sports Sci Med Rehabil 9, 3 (2017). Start high jumping!

No expert needed. In this study, Aspirin appears to have caused people to have an early death. Higher all-cause mortality was observed among apparently healthy older adults who received daily aspirin than among those who received placebo and was attributed primarily to cancer-related death. In the context of previous studies, this result was unexpected and should be interpreted with caution." The study found that the group taking aspirin had a slightly increased risk of death (5.9%) compared to the placebo group (5.2%), which was attributable to a slightly higher rate of cancer deaths in the aspirin group. Effect of Aspirin on All-Cause Mortality in the Healthy Elderly. N Engl J Med. 2018. Yet this study found a 6-7% decrease in all cause mortality: Aspirin Use in Adults: Cancer, All-Cause Mortality, and Harms: A Systematic Evidence Review for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force 2015. No expert can tell you whether aspirin is beneficial. We have conflicting studies.

1:01:10 Is the information shown at the bottom of the screen about Lp-PLA2 really correct? I thought Lp-PLA2 plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and as predictive biomarker for future cardiovascular events. Lp-PLA2 is a vascular-specific marker of inflammation. The correlation of Lp-PLA2 with atherogenic risk is even greater considering that it is secreted by the macrophages of the atherosclerotic plaques and may well represent the transition to plaque instability. During inflammation of the arterial wall, Lp-PLA2 protein is localized within the plaque in high concentrations.

I heard similar effects on NRF2 accelerating prostate cancer (activated by sulforaphane). However, a very important concept (and Bill Harris mentioned this in another podcast), is that there are multiple pathways going on simultaneously. While it may have a harmful effect on pathway A, it may have extreme benefits on pathways B,C,D and E. This one just one single compound, let alone an entire food matrix with dozens to hundreds of compounds, many of which can create synergy. Many studies get lost in a specific compound, and a specific mechanism (out of many, perhaps) and may give you an incomplete picture. You want to know the overall net effect. Good way is to look at the studies that look at the overall effect. I was concerned about a family member's prostate cancer in regards to broc sprouts for this very reason (NRF2), but he decided to continue as there seems to be great evidence of net-positive effects and so far, he has continued to improve thus far. Not saying I am right, but I think the net effect is a good criteria to take into account to determine whether to take something or not.

Going to attempt 4 grams of EPA a day. I don't know why I am fearful of upping the dose...the brainwashing is real. Love this interview...thanks for dropping the good science as usual! Nice cacti. UPDATE - attempted upper limits of Omega 3 yesterday. Interesting effects...made it to 13 grams of total omega 3, of which was about 4.3 grams EPA. It was Nordic Naturals concentrated Cod Liver Oil. I divided it into 3 doses and the 3rd dose was too much. I felt slight chest pain at that point...which went away quickly. The next day I felt vigor that I haven't had in awhile...so I exercised of course. My new strategy (course correction) will be two teaspoons twice a day, which is about 6 grams of omega 3 total, of which 2 grams are EPA.
