SHOW NOTES
In this video I had the pleasure of talking with Bill and Kristina from Omegaquant. We talked about all things omega fatty acids.
Some topics discussed in this video:
1. Larger variety of Omegas in foods than in the body.

2. Are we what we eat?

3. Importance of Omega 3s

4. Importance of Marine omega 3s – fish and fish oil supplements

5. Do PUFAs in fish oils oxidize in heat and light?

6. Fish and mercury?

7. Pregnant women, and children and the importance of omega 3 (DHA/EPA)?

8. What foods do you recommend eating for omegas?

9. Omega 3s displacing Omega 6 (the balance of omega 3 and 6 in the body – homeostasis)

10. Why ratios aren’t ideal to look at Omega 3:6

11. If we ate pork, which has more PUFAs than say, beef, should we be concerned?

12. Will eating these foods cause us to gain weight or have disease?

13. What about chicken? Any difference with eating grain fed vs pasture raised chickens, in terms of omegas?

14. Concerns of high linoleic acid levels in our blood because of pork, chicken and fish?

15. Does grassfed vs grain fed animals make a difference?

16. Fearing of Omega 6

17. Signs of fatty acid or omega 3 deficiency?

18. What would be some advice for best omega levels?

WHERE TO FIND BILL AND KRISTINA
Dr. Harris is an internationally recognized expert on omega-3 fatty acids and how they can benefit patients with heart disease. He obtained his Ph.D. in Human Nutrition from the University of Minnesota and did post-doctoral fellowships in Clinical Nutrition and Lipid Metabolism with Dr. Bill Connor at the Oregon Health Sciences University.
His interest in omega-3 fatty acids began with his postdoctoral work when he published his first study on the effects of salmon oil on serum lipids in humans (1980). Since that time he has been the recipient of five NIH grants for studies on the effects of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) on human health. He has more than 300 publications relating to fatty acids, including omega-3s, in medical literature and was an author on two American Heart Association scientific statements on fatty acids: “Fish Consumption, Fish Oil, Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Cardiovascular Disease” (2002), and “Omega-6 Fatty Acids and Risk for Cardiovascular Disease” (2009) both published in the journal Circulation.
