Taking Fish Oil? Think again

2013 was a very bad year for fish oil with 3 horrific failures. The world’s leading medical journals published their failures but too few patients were made aware. First, fish oil’s monumental failure to help heart disease as published in The New England Journal of Medicine caused editor-in-chief of Medscape and the heart.org, cardiologist Eric Topol, MD, stated I implore them [patients] to stop taking it [fish oil] because there was “No benefit of fish oil in high risk patients.” Next, the SELECT Trial published in Journal of the National Cancer Institute, confirmed previous devastating results showing fish oil increases prostate cancer risk in men, even greater than harmful transfats cause. Fish oil failed to stop macular degeneration even in patients with low DHA (Journal of the American Medical Association). In 2010, fish oil failed to help Alzheimer’s victims; even those with low DHA (Journal of the American Medical Association). These failures are routine.

In spite of these failures, fish oil has become the #1 supplement in America, and the world follows America’s medical recommendations. If you are taking fish oil or any marine oil you need to know that fish oil becomes rancid and spoils automatically at room temperature. Specifically, fish oil is whopping 320Xs more prone to spoiling than olive oil, and no amount of antioxidants stop it. You can only imagine how much worse it is at body temperature —you should be terrified.

In a misguided effort to help solve America’s health problems, fish oil was imagined to be our savior, but the science is severely lacking. Of the 15,000 studies of fish oil, the majority fail and the so-called successes are from studies so poorly conducted that in the failed heart study referenced by Dr. Topol, of their 1007 articles retrieved, only 14 met the criteria of randomization, double-blindness, and placebo-controlled—and failure was absolutely proclaimed. Clearly, an enormous number of poorly conducted studies in the journals have conclusions that can’t be relied on and are misleading physicians worldwide.

Think about it …why should a human being suffer a fish oil deficiency and require a substance fish forced to live in frigid water require. We don’t. “Select Trial Results Examined: Why Fish Oil, DHA, and “Oily Fish” Are Inflammatory, Leading to Increases in Prostate Cancer, Epithelial Cancers, and CVD” explains why fish oil’s failure is not a surprise.

Identifying Sustainable Practices for Tapping and Sap Collection from Birch Trees

Tapping and collecting sap from birch trees ( Betula , sp.) for the production of beverages and syrup is gaining increased levels of interest. Although the practice of tapping birch trees and collecting sap has been ongoing for millennia across the world, there remain some critical data needed in order to make science-based decisions about the production practices required to optimize yields and ensure sustainable outcomes are achieved in the long-term. In this study, experiments were conducted to determine two pieces of information essential to identify practices necessary to ensure tapping trees for birch sap collection were both sustainable and profitable—the selection of the time to initiate tapping birch trees to obtain maximum yields, and the volume of nonconductive wood (NCW) associated with taphole wounds in birch trees. The yields obtained from various timing treatments varied between sapflow seasons, but indicated that using test tapholes to choose the appropriate ti

Incorporation of High-Altitude Balloon Experiment in High School Science Classrooms

High-altitude balloon is a balloon, filled usually with helium or hydrogen that ascends into an area called “near space” or stratosphere. The most common type of high-altitude balloons are weather balloons. Other purposes include use as a platform for experiments in the upper atmosphere. Modern balloons generally contain electronic equipment such as radio transmitters, cameras, or satellite navigation systems, such as GPS receivers. The mission of the High-Altitude Balloon Experiment (HABE) is to acquire supporting data, validate enabling technologies, and resolve critical acquisition, tracking, and pointing (ATP) and fire control issues in support of future space-based precision pointing experiments. The use of high-altitude balloons offers a relatively low-cost, low-vibration test platform, a recoverable and reusable payload, worldwide launch capability, and a 'near- space' emulation of the future space systems operational scenarios. More recently, several university
