And don't overcook it!

I take 4 grams per day of mega fish oil capsules

It helps in so many ways -- it is probably easier to list ways that it does not help. My understanding is that every cell in the body uses the omega 3s from the fish oil -- and if you don't get enough -- the cells start using whatever fat is available. Like saturated and trans fat!

My understanding is -- eating a lot of saturated fat is no problem -- if you are consuming enough fish oil.

Approximately 60 percent of the human brain is composed of fatty material 25 percent of that material is DHA. Since humans cannot produce it, they must consume it. Studies show that the DHA level of women in America today are comparable to that of women in Third World countries. This is attributed to the trend against eating DHArich foods such as fish, liver and brain
