Omega-3 fatty acids appear to impact AMD progression

I'm not surprised....

[decimon]

Is that the most Intel-igent reply you could muster? ;-)

[Seruzawa]

I immediately thought that this was another of Intel’s nefarious plots to end competition.

[Big Giant Head]

I’m worried. I use an AMD quad core....

Don't fry your fish on it and you should be okay.

Well, I suppose I could drag it closer to topic by pointing out that AMD and Intel are a big part of the reason why it has become immeasurably easier for teen boys to go blind....

Major Breakthrough in Macular Degeneration

"Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of blindness in adults, a growing problem as the population ages. Now a team of researchers at the University of Kentucky has raised hope for early detection and preventive treatment."

[editor-surveyor]

"Omega-3 fatty acids found in fatty fish such as tuna and salmon may protect against progression of age-related macular degeneration..."

You can leave the tuna off the list. It has so very little that it isn't worth the risks of eating such a garbage-laden fish. Wild caught Sockeye Salmon is the way to go.

I eat a couple of tablespoons of ground flax seed each day.
It is very comparable to fish oil.

[decimon]

Wild caught Sockeye Salmon is the way to go.

Cook it well to kill off the tapeworms.

[editor-surveyor]

If you’re that worried about tapeworms, go with grass fed beef; it actually beats the salmon, but costs five times as much.

[decimon]

Thanks.

Eye injections. Sounds like a fun thing.

[decimon]

If you’re that worried about tapeworms, go with grass fed beef; it actually beats the salmon, but costs five times as much.

Can I just eat some grass? Smoke some grass?

The flora in your intestines convert the flax oil to EPA/DHA, but they only convert a small portion of the oil.

[Ditter]

Maybe that is the reason your head is so big, ya think?

(sorry I couldn’t help myself, I have been serious all day)

[Big Giant Head]

Maybe. I’ll have to have it examined.

[norraad]

I think for this very reason and many more, Cod Liver Oil is the way to go.

I've experimented on my self with them all, even though I was naturally prejudice against old fashioned Cod Liver Oil , it turned out I could really feel the difference.

Not to mention it's the cheapest.

Like Epsom Salts , sometimes the old fashioned health cures beat all.

The health professionals will rarely admit it because it cuts into their bottom line.

Like Epsom Salts , sometimes the old fashioned health cures beat all.

Yep! I'm discovering the joys of food-grade diatomaceous earth.

Kills every type of insect without chemicals [or having the insects build up a resistance], kills internal parasites and supplies the body with silica.

Pretty neat stuff, IMHO.
