Omega-3 fatty acids are so special that virtually every health authority agrees that they belong in your diet.

We’ve evolved from eating foods that were dramatically higher in vitamins, minerals and essential fats. We ate wild game, which contains higher levels of omega-3 fats and more nutrients than the factory-farmed animals we consume today.

Our hunter-gatherer ancestors also ate fresh fish and meat that grazed from pristine sources, whereas our factory farm-raised meats come loaded with hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, preservatives like nitrates and higher levels of inflammatory omega-6 fats.

Healthy fat in our diets has decreased during the past decade because of poor advice from so-called health experts and our government. The advice was based on flawed science and conflict-of-interest studies funded by big food companies.
One study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reviewed the effects of omega-3d on blood clots, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, colitis, and other conditions and concluded that “[omega-3 fats] should be included in the diets of all humans.”

A big concern in nutrition today is the ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fats in our diets. We’re getting too little of the former and too much of the latter, and this is causing widespread chronic inflammation, the underlying cause of today’s most prevalent deadly diseases.

Omega 6’s come from ultra-processed junk foods made with refined grains and processed oils -- while the best sources of omega-3s come straight from the sea or wild or grass-fed animals.

Get most of your healthy dietary fat from extra-virgin olive oil, coconut oil, nuts and seeds. Avoid refined vegetable oils like canola and soybean oils, as well as trans fats.
