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.

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...

Location Optimization of a Coal Power Plant to Balance Costs against Plant’s Emission Exposure

Fuel and its delivery cost comprise the biggest expense in coal power plant operations. Delivery of electricity from generation to consumers requires investment in power lines and transmission grids. Placing a coal power plant or multiple power plants near dense population centers can lower transmission costs. If a coalmine is nearby, transportation costs can also be reduced. However, emissions from coal plants play a key role in worsening health crises in many countries. And coal upon combustion produces CO 2 , SO 2 , NO x , CO, Metallic and Particle Matter (PM10 & PM2.5). The presence of these chemical compounds in the atmosphere in close vicinity to humans, livestock, and agriculture carries detrimental health consequences. The goal of the research was to develop a methodology to minimize the public’s exposure to harmful emissions from coal power plants while maintaining minimal operational costs related to electric distribution losses and coal logistics. The objective was...

Effects of Karate Training on Basic Motor Abilities of Primary School Children

“You never attack first in karate” might be the best conclusion of karate, which is a martial art practiced typically without weapons. It’s reported that karate has a long history for several hundred years, but the modern karate was spread to the whole Japan from Okinawa in the early part of 20th century. Now it has become one of the most widely practiced martial art forms in the world. Usually, it’s divided into Kihon, Kata and Kumite. As for the beginners, Kihon is more suitable for them because it involves basic techniques. Due to karate consists of dynamic offensive and defensive techniques using all parts of the body to their maximum advantage, the best understanding of true karate practice is the perfection of oneself through the perfection of the art. It not only develops coordination, quickens reflexes, and builds stamina, but also develops composure, a clearer thought process, deeper insight into one’s mental capabilities, and more self-confidence. So many researchers stu...
