Over the last 30 years, the question over whether omega-3 fatty acids from fish has been the subject of controversy, swinging from exuberance over its potential benefits to skepticism over whether they provide any benefit at all. It seems that one day we hear that fish oil reduces risk for heart attack, while the next day we hear that there is no such benefit, even harm.

Clark Stanley was a silver-tongued Texas cowboy who called himself the ‘Rattlesnake King'. Back in the late 19th century, he wasn't the first charlatan going from town to town in the American West, hawking quack products -- during this time when patent medicines were gaining popularity, American consumers could buy all sorts of fraudulent snake oil products like his. But Clark had a certain flair. A certain charisma and showmanship others didn't. And, for a few years, he really was the Rattlesnake King -- and king of the snake oil salesmen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 2420: Jessica's inquiry about plant-based omega-3 sources versus fish omega-3s for heart health is addressed with insightful details. The episode explores different types of omega-3 fats, like ALA in walnuts and EPA, DHA in fish, emphasizing DHA's role in brain health. While plant sources lack significant EPA/DHA, algae are presented as a viable alternative. However, regular consumption of algae or seaweed can be challenging and potentially excessive in iodine. The episode suggests considering algal oil supplements, highlighting their purity and absorption advantages over fish oil, despite potential cost concerns. Recommended dosing is 250-300 mg of combined EPA and DHA, with a recommendation to choose supplements verified for quality and purity by organizations like USP or NSF. Quotes to ponder: "Instead of getting our omega-3 fats from fish, maybe we can get them from walnuts, flaxseeds, or even algae." "DHA is the most abundant type of omega-3 fatty acid found in the brain and is important in maintaining nerve cell structure and function." "Some sources suggest finding a supplement that contains 250-300 mg of combined EPA and DHA."

This episode is brought to you by Bioptimizers and Momentous.What if there was one key nutrient that could help improve your health, increase longevity, reduce chronic inflammation, and even reduce your risk for Alzheimer's? You've probably heard of this crucial nutrient: Omega-3! But did you know that over 90% of the population has suboptimal omega-3 levels? Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Bill Harris, a world-renowned researcher, to discuss the decades of research he has conducted on omega-3s, and its correlation to longer life spans, reduced rates of depression, anxiety, and Alzheimer's, and reducing chronic inflammation. Dr. Harris shares that omega-3 is one of the most researched nutrients and one of the top three nutrients that can drastically improve our health. Dr. Harris shares his findings on what to look for in consuming quality fish, supplements, optimal levels, and how to test your levels via the OmegaQuant Institute.William S. Harris, PhD, FASN, has been a leading researcher in the omega-3 fatty acid field for 40 years. He has over 300 scientific papers on fatty acids and health, has been on the faculty of three medical schools, and received 5 NIH grants to study omega-3. He co-authored three AHA statements on fatty acids and heart health. As the co-inventor of the Omega-3 Index (and other omega-3 blood tests) and founder of OmegaQuant Analytics, Dr. Harris has been ranked among the top 2% of scientists worldwide based on the impact of his research.
