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.

Does Immigration Promote the Investment of the Monopolistic Firm?

In the present paper, we examine the effect of increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth on the optimal timing of investment of a firm that has a monopolistic power over the labor market. It is revealed that when the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is more than a threshold level, increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth accelerates the optimal timing of firms’ investment and enhances the economic growth, even if the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is formulated by the geometric Brownian motion, which is in sharp contrast to the standard result that an increase in the uncertainty postpones the optimal timing. With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...

Education Policy Implementation: A Mechanism for Enhancing Primary Education Development in Zanzibar

Education is one of the fundamental rights of individuals; therefore, the government of a country needs to develop and strengthen educational policy and quality as well as to ensure that everyone has equal access to basic education. The improvement of access and quality of education in the world is becoming as an essential factor in development, whereas the basic education (primary school), is acknowledged as a foundation of the higher educational development for every country. To fulfill this goal, governments introduce several policies and procedures; however, it requires some reforms and participation from the politician, policymakers, and other stakeholders to re-examine educational policy so that it can lead to multiplication and betterment of the reforms. Educational reforms actually focus on accountability. A positive educational development and reform is very challenging and needs more effort and strategy on how to use and utilize the resources effectively as such it can achie...
