EB. 107: Omega-3s DECREASE Lifespan and INCREASE Disease?

In this episode we discuss: Studies showing that omega-3 consumption decreases lifespan and increases disease processes  The potentially harmful effects of omega-3 usage during pregnancy on offspring  The impact of omega-3s on inflammation, endotoxin, and mitochondrial respiration  The data in native cultures showing that omega-3 intake doesn’t improve cardiovascular disease or mortality  Extremely healthy populations that consume high-carb and high-saturated fat diets with almost no omega-3s      Check out the Energy Balance Mini-Course here: https://www.jayfeldmanwellness.com/energy/ Check out the Energy Balance Food guide here: https://www.jayfeldmanwellness.com/guide/ Check out the Energy Balance Solution program here: https://www.jayfeldmanwellness.com/solution/       Click here to check out the show notes: https:/jayfeldmanwellness.com/ep-107-omega-3s-decrease-lifespan-and-increase-disease   Timestamps: 0:00 – intro 1:30 – studies showing that omega-3 consumption decreases lifespan and increases disease processes in animals 13:55 – studies on animals showing the harmful effects of omega-3 consumption during pregnancy on offspring 17:37 – studies showing that omega-3 consumption contributes to disease processes, increases inflammation, causes oxidative stress, increases endotoxin, and interferes with mitochondrial respiration 29:23 – whether we should be concerned about saturated fats increasing endotoxin absorption 30:33 – how omega-3 consumption leaves us more susceptible to damage when we’re under stress 33:52 – whether we should be consuming fatty fish 37:00 – the lack of benefit of omega-3 consumption in native populations consuming large amounts of fatty fish and seafood 46:14 – low incidence of cardiovascular disease in native populations consuming very little omega-3s 1:05:18 – concluding thoughts on whether we should consume omega-3s based on the data on omega-3s in RBCs and phospholipids and mortality
