Fish Don’t Protect Against Heart Attacks: Study
Intake of very long chain n-3 fatty acids from fis…[Eur J Heart Fail. 2009] –
In this study the author’s claim no protection against heart attacks from eating fish. (Full text)
In a previous study it’s claimed fish do have a protective effect on Atrial fibrillation although it differentiates between tuna, broiled or baked fish and fried fish or ‘fish burgers’.
http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/110/4/368?etoc
It seems thus the key to confusion is the fat not the fish. As with studies on Flax oil, if it’s pure and encapsulated it provides degrees of success – baked in muffins with fat and sugar it appears impotent.
It is logical that the high levels of saturated fats in fish, with any essential fats left to oxidise, laced with potential toxins from polluted oceans and unhealthy fats introduced through cooking may undermine any theraputic benefit of the EPA and DHA in fish.
The solution to balancing long chain essential fatty acid levels in the body which are undisputedly needed for the intergity of every cell membrane is perhaps best addressed by sustainably grown, unpolluted new strains of algae that can provide both pure EPA and DHA for theraputic use.
New plant oils such as Echium found to be far more effectively converted in the body into EPA than flax oil may also prove to be invaluable as the oceanic ecosystems are gradually destroyed by overfishing.

It’s Robert Nesta Marley’s birthday today……well it would be if he was as much alive as his music. Many people all over the world will be celebrating Bob Marley’s birthday today.
Marley was the king of reggae. He was born on February 6, 1945 at 2:30 am and died of cancer 36 years later, on May 11, 1981. His hits included Could You Be Loved, No Woman No Cry, Buffalo Soldier, and the anthemic Get Up Stand Up. Lesser known tracks include goodies such as Three Little Birds and the classic One Drop. Marley was Jamaica’s greatest cultural icon. A month before he died he was awarded Jamaica’s Order of Merit, the nations’ third highest honor, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the country’s culture.
Down here there will be parties celebrating his birthday, as it is Waitangi Day, (or for the colonial, New Zealand Day). In Wellington, as happens every year, there will be an irie reggae party this afternoon, with much skanking and a bit of ganja, one assumes, going down.
For the rest of you, check out some online Marley music from the best reggae had to offer.
You can listen to some vocals and take a listen to this midi track, to get you into the swing of things.
