tell me how that fish oil works. Tell me the mechanism that helps someone. Give me the details. What does it do to the proteins/enzymes in the body. Anecdotes are meaning less.
I'd rather live in the real world than an a life that people think exists purely on their perception. That's what medicine is.
You saying I have a lot to learn in life is fucking stupid, and is an ageism logical fallacy. Tell me what I'm missing. I'm sorry that I look at the actual mechanism that logical fallacies.
what you are missing is that you have to approach this from the right perspective. this is not about being able to fix years of poor eating by taking a pill every day and thinking everything is going to be alright. it is surprising the number of people who DO think that is the case, but they are idiots. it's not and i would never ever argue that.
i am pretty sure this is what most of the studies you linked to have tested, so they are not interesting except insofar as it is a confirmation that no, a few grams of fish oil every day is not a miracle cure that will reverse the course to obesity and disease hell that the western world has set itself on. i could have told you as much with much fewer words.
this is about recognizing that what most of us eat in general has moved very far from what is healthy at this point, and that
after taking other, more important steps, omega-3 supplements can be a good idea unless you eat fatty wild-caught fish and/or grass-fed beef two or three times a week. it is about taking a long chain of steps to approximate the diets of healthy people. believe it or not, there are still places on earth where cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, dementia, etc are unknown concepts. throughout all these societies, at least one thing is constant: a DRASTICALLY higher level of dietary omega-3 fatty acids. i want to eat like these people because i do not want these diseases. fish oil is but a link in a that process. that is, after i eliminated all grains and all added sugar and stopped using bad fats (this is a bigger deal. grains are the #1 problem but that is a discussion for another day)
if you want studies on the effect of o6/o3 ratios on western as opposed to traditional populations i suggest the book "food and western disease: health and nutrition from an evolutionary perspective" by staffan lindeberg as well as his kitava study, on which some of the data in the book is based.
there is some very compelling HARD SCIENCE that supports all of the above, but you are not asking the right questions. and i agree, "why should I, SWIZZLENUTS, eat fish oil" is probably a question that has the answer "it doesn't really matter if you do". that's assuming you eat a pretty typical western diet otherwise.
edit: actually
here's something you might be interested in
cutting and pasting the conclusion here if youre lazy
there's more where that came from if you care
. Life is more than science, is dumb as fuck. Life is science. if you're talking about psychology, fine, but I'm not arguing that.
