Parent omega 3It was reported in 2008 article in Circulation that high levels of alpha-linolenic acid (Parent omega 3), measured either in the fat tissue or by questionnaire, was associated with lower risk of heart attack. In developing countries, the intake of alpha-linolenic acid (Parent omega 3) is low, but the CVD was on the rise. However, intake of fish oil (EPA and DHA) did not modify the association in any way. It was understood by the researchers that Parent omega 3 did something that derivatives didn’t do. They have also concluded that cardiovascular protection could be a product of consuming vegetable oil rich in alpha-linolenic acid (Parent omega 3).

In 2002, The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported similar results from three studies. First was a study of 6250 middle-aged men, showed a beneficial result on CAD from consuming ALA. Also, two more studies of 76,283 nurses in 1999 and 43,757 health professionals in 1996 both showed that the Parent omega 3 was the only fatty acid to protect against cardiac death and nonfatal myocardial infarction. And fish/marine oil did nothing remarkable.

It was already known a decade or more ago that the positive effects of Parent omega 3 were known to prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD). As always, adulterated Parent omega 6 is virtually used in studies so their reports of failure should be expected. When unadulterated Parent omega 6 is used in trials along with Parent omega 3, the results are remarkable (see IOWA experiment & The Mouse Cancer experiment at www.brianpeskin.com).
