CAN OMEGA 3 FISH OIL HELP PREVENT ALZHEIMER'S?

BUY ARCTIC SEA OMEGA-3

So - can Omega-3 fish oil help prevent Alzheimer's?

Here's what today's DAILY MAIL has to say on the subject:

'Eating more fish could give you a bigger brain - and even protect against Alzheimer's, it is claimed. People with higher levels of the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil may also have larger brain volumes in old age, says a study in the journal Neurology.

Brain volume decreasing is a sign of both Alzheimer's disease and normal aging.

The study tested 1,111 US women over eight years, until age 78. Those with more fatty acids at the start had a 0.7 per cent larger brain volume at the end, it found. James Pottala, of the University of South Dakota, said: "The results suggest that the effect on brain volume is the equivalent of delaying normal loss of brain cells with aging by one to two years."

The brain's memory centre, the hippocampus, was particularly affected, he said.

Dr Doug Brown, of the Alzheimer's Society, said the study was 'interesting' but warned it was 'a big leap to draw this conclusion.''

BENEFITS OF OMEGA-3 FISH OILS

I expect you've read and heard lots about the benefits of Omega-3 fish oils. Well, in yesterday's DAILY TELEGRAPH, under the heading 'Eating Salmon Could Halve Arthritis Risk', I saw this feature:

'Eating a weekly portion of salmon could halve the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis, researchers have found.

People who ate at least one serving of fatty fish, such as salmon, trout, mackerel or kippers were less likely to develop the condition than those who did not.

The same benefit was observed in those who ate four servings of lean fish, such as cod, haddock or tinned tuna each week. The benefit is largely attributable to the long-chain omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acid content in fish, according to the study, published in the journal Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.

Researchers collected dietary information on 32,000 women born between 1914 and 1948 who completed lifestyle surveys in 1987 and 1997.'
