The Truth About Omega-3 Publication date : March 29, 2007

Are Omega-3 fatty acids really essential to health? Are they just a panacea, or do they actually have some impact? Can they enhance our moods and improve our libido? Can they help patients suffering from depression and other psychological disorders? Has it been proven that they lessen the risk of cardiovascular diseases, reduce hypertension, eliminate excessive triglycerides and diminish inflammation?
Where and in what form can these fatty acids be found? What quantities should be consumed? How much do they cost? Should one rely on dietary supplements for increased consumption of Omega-3?
Jean-Marie Bourre explains here that Omega-3 fatty acids are contained in the food we eat — but not in all foodstuffs and not in all forms.
