Coming Back to Balance
The easiest way to bring the omega-3: omega-6 ratio into balance is to decrease consumption of omega-6 vegetable oils like corn and safflower oil and eat more omega-3 rich fish and fish oil.
The dry weight of your brain is 60% fat. The type of fat you incorporate into your brain reflects the type of fat you put into your mouth. The omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA are the preferred brain fats. Essentially the only place you can obtain these fatty acids is by eating fish and other seafood. The old wives' tale "Fish is brain food" is correct. If you don't eat fish and consume other less desirable fats such as the trans-fats found in margarine or heated rancid fats such as are typically found when food is deep fried, your brain incorporates these fatty acids into its infrastructure. The brain does not operate nearly as well on these less desirable fats.5,6
Omega-3 fatty acids are found in phytoplankton, a marine plant, which is eaten by fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, albacore tuna, halibut, and sardines. The importance of omega-3 fats was first recognized from research on the Eskimos. Although the traditional Eskimo diet is extraordinarily high in fat, the rate of heart disease and cancer found among Eskimos is low. The primary fat in the Eskimo diet is omega-3.
Sardines are a preferable source for this formula. Because they are small fish, they contain less mercury contamination than larger fish. Because they are cold deep water fish, they grow more fat cells and yield higher concentrations of EPA/DHA.
Our fish oil is in strict compliance with California Proposition 65 and we have on hand a Certificate of Analysis for each production batch. The guidelines set in the proposition are at <3ppm for the heavy metals and our formula comes in at <1ppm. This product has also been tested for PCBs and contains less than 10% of the level allowed by this regulation.
