Fatty Fish Farce

  Fish oil is not all that it’s cracked up to be.

While polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) from seed oils are well-known to be harmful when consumed regularly, fish oil (rich in Omega-3 PUFAs) continues to be promoted as a health supplement.

Blood sugar issues, including hyperglycaemia, insulin resistance, and diabetes, are some of the problems that are associated with exposure to fish oil PUFAs and their toxic byproducts such as acrolein and 4-HNE.

‘After omega-3 fatty acid withdrawal, fasting glucose returned to baseline. Omega-3 fatty acid treatment in type II diabetes leads to rapid but reversible metabolic deterioration, with elevated basal hepatic glucose output and impaired insulin secretion but unchanged glucose disposal rates. Caution should be used when recommending omega-3 fatty acids in type II diabetic persons.’ (Glauber H, et al., 1988)

‘…long-chain ω-3 fatty acid enrichment led to hepatic insulin resistance with respect to suppression of glucose output and impaired glucose tolerance in vivo.’ (Mark J. Holness, et al., 2003)

Sugar provides the body with a stable source of energy, whereas fish oil and other PUFAs are chemically unstable, highly reactive, and interfere with the ability to efficiently utilize sugar.

Fish like their fat unsaturated so that they can swim in cold waters without turning into a block of butter.

On the other hand, we humans need fats that don’t oxidize at room temperature and beyond.

Nature (or whatever you want to call it) knew what it was doing.

Have you tried removing fish oil and all the other PUFAs from your diet?
