Actually, recent studies have shown they have high rates of cardiovascular disease (50% higher than western populations) despite diets that are very high in fatty fish.

You ought to review the reserach in the areas of antioxidants, ani inflammaiton, prostate cancer, and breast cancer to name a few. The other day, I was told that Omega 5 could be helpful in minor cases of skin cancer. Have you had any experience with pomegranate seed oil? The ladies are excited because it is a natural SPF and helps as an anti-aging / cellulite agent, I do not think that fish oil can do that, but again, I am not a scientist or physician. You may want to look into Omega -5 oil. I am taking a daily dose of Omega 5, it is boosting my system and my skin looks younger.

But I'll keep my testosterone, and pass on the breast tissue. BTW, prostate cancer is one of the slowest-developing cancers there is; many elderly men have it (undiagnosed) for years before dying of other causes. The ones who have it treated (prostates removed) will often have worse outcomes (impotence, incontinence.) That was it; thanks. But I’ll keep my testosterone, and pass on the breast tissue.

Seth, do you now prefer the version with lignans? Seems to me there was some issue with the lignans...something estrogenic about them, perhaps? I might be confusing that with soy...

I currently take both canola oil (for the SLD) and flaxseed oil (for general health purposes). Because Canola oil has a poor ratio between omega 3 and 6, could it be diminishing the results from my flaxseed intake? Flaxseed oil appears to hit 2 birds with one stone.

Seth, you've got to read Gary Taubes' new book, an analysis of diet propaganda over the last fifty years. You will love it, and it would be fantastic to hear your take on it.

Omega 3 is critical in preventing heart attack. The low fat diet is a failed experiment which has caused us to be overloaded with Omega 6 from vegetable oils (mostly soy).Omega 6 promotes inflammation, Omega 3 reduces inflammation. Infalammation causes heart attack! Having been a heart surgeon for 30 years I have seen it and touched it. My new book The Cure for Heart Disease gives all the details. You are on the right track.
