Do you have the correct ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3?
Most people have way too much Omega 6 and not enough Omega 3 which can be detrimental to one’s health.
The major cause of the imbalance between the 2 polyunsaturated fatty acids was the swing from butter to margarine and a decline in the consumption of fish.
I remember growing up in Scotland and at school every morning we were given a pint of milk.
Every evening I was also forced by my father to take a teaspoon of cod liver oil (Omega-3 and Vitamin D) for health purposes. I had to hold my nose while the smelly oil slid down my throat. Little did I know the good my father was doing me back then.
Now all Year 11 pupils at Durham’s 36 comprehensive schools will be given a chance to take Omega-3 fish oil supplements to kick-start their exam performances.
Trials have already produced stunning results, bringing about dramatic changes in behaviour and performance among 100 children.
It is now hoped that about 5,000 15- and 16-year-olds will sign up to take the supplement.
Durham’s Chief Schools Inspector Dave Ford, the project’s brainchild, believes the fish oil could have an impact on GCSE results, after following the progress of children in the county involved in earlier studies with the omega-3 supplement.

Now you can get a chocolate fix combined with fish oil all in one delicious bite!
Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) August 20, 2006 — Imagine getting a daily fix of chocolate and omega-3 fatty acids in one yummy product. That’s the premise behind the new Choco-Omeg line of chocolates (bars and boxed pieces) from Dynamic Chocolates. The line recently made its debut in a number of Canadian pharmacies, and Dynamic is working now to sell U.S. retailers on the merits of its new premium, functional chocolates. Official US launch date: August 28th, 2006 at the Diet, Nutrition & Vitamin ECRM show in Illinois.
Keep in mind that you would have to eat a lot of chocolate bars to get the required dosage of Omega-3s that one receives when supplementing with only 3 capsules of AMB Well Omega-3 PGFO (1200EPA/600DHA).
According to Professor Les Cleland from the Royal Adelaide Hospital:
fish oil could save the national health system more than a hundred million dollars in arthritis treatments.

A study was carried out at the University of Western Australia and the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research and involved 98 mums-to-be. Half of the mums-to-be received fish oil while the other half did not.
Children in the fish oil supplemented group attained higher scores in all measures of development, behaviour and language and had a significantly higher score for hand-eye coordination, Dr Janet Dunstan, from the university, said.
Just 3 capsules a day of a 5 star 40:20TG pharmaceutical grade fish oil a day is all you need.
