Raphael, if more people read your articles than read MSNBC, we'd live in a healthier and happier world.

But the foods than give us omega-3 give us vitamin D, which gives us a natural vaccine. Who wouldn't want that?

Who? Maybe the unelected software engineer turned Bond villain who wants to block out the Sun ;) Not much money to be made in telling people to eat foods found in nature, fast, and get some rays.

Agreed. I'd ignore Stanford professor and "director of nutrition studies" Chris Gardner who, with his wife Melissa, a political scientist, have four sons together and all follow a plant-based diet. [Also from Wikipedia]

That explains the man boobs! Gotta love a nutrition expert who tells us to steer clear from animal products, as if we don't have canine teeth, didn't eat meat over the past couple million years, as if we didn't evolve over millions of years to process meat and animal fat, etc. Apparently better to eat soy-based ultra-processed foods courtesy of Bill Gates.

I've started taking Flaxseed oil to reduce blood pressure. I will soon start taking the ground product when it arrives. It's one of the richestsources of Omega-3 fatty acids. I expect the whole, ground product will work better, even though I have seen improvements after only a few days of the cold pressed oil.

Terry, I also started eating milled flaxseed about a year and a half ago while cutting out seed oils as much as possible. I definitely noticed a difference, especially to my digestive system.

However, you might also want to look further into the differences between plant-based and marine omega-3, especially relating to heart health and blood pressure:

Well fine. I will start taking fish oil caps as well.
