  • Fish oil

    Is fish oil as good as they say? Does anyone here use it?

    Saw an interesting documentary on the bbc about the human mind and some professor in england was talking about a test done with schoolkids (by oxford uni I think) who were basically under-achieving.. they made them take a bunch of fish oil tabs every day and the results were quite impressive.. nearly all the kids showed a big change in learning ability, concentration and general interest in studying..

    Interesting really since when I was a kid I always heard people say that fish is 'brain food' and I know people who would eat fish by the barrel while preparing for exams.. dunno where the idea came from back then that its good for the brain but recent scientific studies seem to suggest its true after all..

    Fish oil is supposedly also good for people with depression and such like.

    Its also good for joint problems.. arthritis or whatever.. and its good for the heart.. and lots of other things.

    So basically fish oil is reputed to be 'damn good shit' that makes you live longer and healthier and smarter and makes you more attractive to the opposite sex and and and.. well you know.. its even better for the fish oil companies bank accounts.

    Sucks to be a fish though.

        fish oil?

        yeah i heard the same thing a while back, it had something to do with the fact that fish and fish fat had a protien\amino acid in it called omega 3 or something like that, which stimulates brain cell growth or something like that is the type of protien that brain tissue is composed of or something like that.
        maybe its because of the fact that fish live in water, which is pretty much the birthplace of all living things. they say the molecular makeup of the dead dea or red sea(forgot which one) contains almost every element found in the human body... or something like that.

          I happen to have a bottle of Cod Liver Oil tablets right here...

          This is what the bottle says:
          Cod Liver Oil is a source of Vitamins A and D. Vitamin A is essential for new cell growth and health, especially the eyes, skin, hair and teeth. Vitamin D is essential for the absorbtion of Calcium and for bone mass formation and maitnenance. A and D both are important for healthy immune system function. Cod Liver Oil also contains the Omega-3 fatty acids DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) adn EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid).

          Those statements have not been evaluated by the FDA etc.

            maybe it's because fish have fins, and fins somewhat resemble wings, so eating fish is like soaring towards good health.

              I think it's because of the "sh" sound in "fish". The "sh" sound is the universal spoken sound for "quiet", and "quiet" means undisturbed, or pristine, like you want your health to be.

                Simply put, fish oil is a good yin tonic. It's fat, which is yin, and it comes from the ocean, which is quite yin compared to the dirt. Thus is it about as yin as dietary supplements get. If you're lacking yin, eat some.

                  And so a yang diet would consist of...lettuce? Lettuce comes from the soil and has little or no fats. I also am taking shots in the dark.

                            No, not per say, lettuce is still yin, its cold, wet, bland. Yanger foods would be peanut, some kinds of meat, spicy food, and a list thats too long to be written here.
