The human organism needs adequate fatty acids to survive the daily bodily processes. Omega-3 fatty acids that are usually obtained from cold-water fish have demonstrated, in very recent clinical research, to thwart the production of inflammatory mediators, such as bad prostaglandins. Omega-3s are best measured for active EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) content and should not be mistaken with the average fish oil products found in supermarkets today.

THE NEED FOR EXTRA FISH FATS

Since the typical Western diet primarily consists of Omega 6's and 9's (meat and vegetable oils) it becomes vitally important for those who are interested in offsetting bad prostaglandin production to consume extra amounts of Omega-3's that are rich in EPA and DHA content. Recent clinical research demonstrated, that population groups who consumed large amounts of fish had considerably less heart and circulatory problems than those who ate none. Further, the scientific researchers also determined that the EPA and DHA content in the fish studied provided the necessary substrates for most beneficial health effects known to man.
