I wish someone would mention cost in these discussions. Ballpark figures, ~500 mg per day of epa+dha (roughly what most governments recommend on average) will run you about $0.10 a day in the form of fish oil but $0.50 a day in the form of algal oil. In other words to get what he is recommending (~1000 mg a day) you are asking people, on the vegan side, to literally spend a dollar a day to achieve that. That is… not a negligible amount of money for a significant fraction of the population, even ignoring the third world.

Great episode! Thank you 🙏🏽 Would love to hear your thoughts on whether you felt DHA/EPA as essential supplements for vegans (like B12). I got the feeling from the episode the ALA may have its own benefits but conversion rate is very low. Perhaps that can be explored further in Part 2. I’ve also heard that it’s not actually the amount of omega 3 but the omega 3 omega 6 ratio. Is there any truth to this?
@TenTempeh
2 жыл бұрын
The conclusion, at less what I understood around those points, is that the conversion ratio is really low and that's why, even tho it isn't considered an essential fatty acid, omega 3 EPA and DHA are really recommended for a healthier dietary pattern. That leads clearly to the recommendation of its supplementation in vegan diets. Also the ratio O6/O3 can reduce that conversion (from ALA to EPA/DHA), but as you don't want to get less O6, considering it is healthy (except in some inflammatory diseases), you aren't really interested in balancing that ratio. The overall picture would probably be: get lots of LA (O6) and get your correct doses of EPA and DHA, indepently of how much ALA you are getting from your diet (even tho if it is recommended to obtain in high doses).

Thanks you both, very useful information. My questions for Dr. Harris : in the studies that subjects took Omega 3 and developed AF, were there differences found with subjects who didn't develop A.Fib? secondly since really "there is no higher limits to Omega 3 index, more better", so this is somewhat in conflict with A.Fib findings, should one assume if they are taking high doses of both EPA and DHA and not having arrythmia issues, they better keep taking these and stop or reduce only if A. Fib develops? There is a Canadian supplement that has for 2 capsule has 1400 mg EPA and 480 mg DHA, also has 2200 mg fish oil. Is there added benefit to having this last element "fish oil", why would they add that? Brand is "vivanaturales triple strength Omega 3 fish oil" and reason got my attention as video on youtube from a pharmacist who said took 5 grams of this supplement per day, fixed his LDL, and other lipid markers over a year. Dr. Harris said Omega 3 and fish oil lowers TG, whereas one cardiologist M. Alo on youtube said Fish oil raises both cholesterol and LDL and cause a. Fib, comments please.

@103: Blood measurements of EPA/DHA only show how much is being carried by the blood - at that specific time. Most measurements are post prandial, so of course if you are eating preformed EPA/DHA, more will be found in the bloodstream. Research shows that most ALA conversion is happening in tissues, not in the bloodstream. >ALA Storage - The primary fate of orally administered ALA is b-oxidation and long-term storage in adipose tissue (up to one year), suggesting that DHA synthesis measures involving oral ALA tracer ingestion may underestimate total DHA synthesis. >ALA Only - Studies Animals fed ALA-only diets have brain DHA concentrations similar to DHA-fed animals. And dietary ALA, with no DHA, is sufficient to completely restore brain DHA in rats [19] and non-human primates >DHA Requirements - brain DHA requirement is estimated to be only 2.4-3.8 mg/day in humans. >Most research refers to ALA conversion: 1) in the bloodstream not the tissues 2) at the time of ingestion, instead of on an “as need” basis with serum clearance rapidly changing blood levels Study: Is docosahexaenoic acid synthesis from a-linolenic acid sufficient to supply the adult brain?

Simon, you may have already covered this on a show, but I feel like in a lot of recent interviews and podcasts I've seen centered around or touching on fatty acids, no one talks about dark leafy greens. When plant foods come up, the typical spread of seeds and algal supplementation are mentioned, and fishes are referenced of course repeatedly, whether with caveats or in enthusiastic support of. Sideline - in his comment about human evolution and water bodies, not all fish flesh contains this, by a stretch, and many water sources would not necessarily be rich in various fishes, so I think that falls down on several fronts. Anyway, back to greens, I have only really heard this discussed directly here and there by Chef AJ with a couple of guests, and I feel like it would bear closer scrutiny. Her N of 1, when it comes up, is that she basically doesn't even eat seeds much at all, and definitely no extracted oil. but eats pounds of greens in a day, doesnt supplement DHA/EPA and regulatly tests her levels to check, and they're always strong. Given that high-foliage forage plus cooked starches and seeds/grains probably IS a foundational evolutionary human dietary pattern, it would make sense to me that maybe greens in quantity are really worth a look, maybe especially effective in absence or reduced presence of other sources competing for the same conversion pathway (and, I am NOT an anthropologist, but I WAS an anthropology undergrad in the early 90s and I did some grad-level medical anthropology work focused a lot on diet as well, so I'm not 100% arm-chairing it here...). Anyway, sorry if I missed any discussion on greens, but if not, maybe this would be a good topic or subtopic/item for Part 2 of this when you do it, even?

Not good&bad cholesterol, but appropriate cholesterol - made and controlled by the intelligent body - according to what is needed; with increased all-cause mortality linked to low cholesterol levels; also according to recent (independant) research. There must be a reason why some LDL's (such as those formed from polyunsaturated, processed and oxidised fats), are favoured to be removed from the bloodstream... Could it be that they are considered to be harmful, or otherwise at least not as useful?

I realize this episode is a year old. I wonder about rancidity of omega 3 supplements. I take algal oil gel caps and they often smell “off”. How can we tell if they are rancid or not? He said once the oil is encapsulated it doesn’t degrade (paraphrasing here). I’m curious if any of you have the same question. Thanks.

If you can get cans of cod liver in its own oil, you may find it is not rancid at all, and probably cheaper than the capsules. One 100 g can per week.

@@rredding That isn't cheaper than capsules when you do by weight comparison of cod liver to conentrated fish oil capsules. The other concern when using cod liver and cod liver oil as a substitute for fish oil is the high vitamin A content. This is fine if you want to take a bit for vitamin A but it can lead to hypervitaminosis A.

@@travv88 Good points! This is what I learned when doing my own "research": Recommended daily allowance for adult men: 900 micrograms per day. Upper allowed intake: 3000 micrograms per day. The cod liver that I buy is a can of 120 gram, and the liver is in its own oil. A good (English-language) cod liver analysis can be found on the website "ciqual" and states: vitamin A (retinol) 4000 micrograms/100 g. (As you can see for yourself, cod liver has quite a long list of useful vitamins and minerals). So, one can contains 4800 micrograms vitamin A. I divide one can in 3 portions, two of them are frozen immediately and I take those amounts over the week. The oil does not taste "fishy" and the liver actually tastes pretty good. I am not too worried about contamination and this approach is cheaper than buying fish oil pills..

I also use the algae oil and one bottle takes about 2 months to use and i haven't noticed an off smell or taste. Another brand of algae oil I've used would have a fishy taste that alarmed me at first when I wasn't aware that algae naturally tastes and smells that way. But I've never noticed any smell or taste with the Nordic naturals EPA DHA.

after a lifetime of eating cold water fish i have found that once or twice a week is best beyond that i tend to feel depressed. omega 6 should easily be obtained in a healthy diet. if it comes in a pill its no good! good health is all about low carbs ,no sugar,ample protein and most of all daily exercise.

Hi Simon! Great episode. Good to have such an honest scope on this matter. I am not sure I got one point tho: should we consider Arachidonic Acid 'not essential but yet important for optimal health', just as we do with EPA and DHA? I was wondering if it would be interesting to get Arachidonic Acid suplementation as a vegan. I will rewatch the Omega 6 part to make sure that question isn't already answered :)

42:15 I understand more or less Arachidonic Acid doesn't lead to disease, therefore we have no reason to supplement it, and it goes without saying, no need to eat animal products for their content in AA...

I guess I'm not the only one that is intrigued by that blank. 36:30 I will gladly think that, more than AA, it is O6 overall (LA concretely) that is important for those functions, specially considering we already stablished that AA levels didn't determine neither health nor disease

I found those grasps of information a bit confusing. How could our organisms regulate our AA if it is potentially essential? If it does regulate, do we manage to make enough AA in order to not need any dietary/supplemented AA?

Didn't they use to feed transplant patients safflower or sunflower seed oil to suppress their immune systems before immunosuppressive medications were developed? Could omega-6s cause cancer by suppressing the immune system. I realize that when I eat walnuts regularly for a few days, I start to have a feeling of developing a sore throat.
