In this episode, Carl dives deep into the world of omega-3s and their impact on heart health.
He discusses a study from Denmark involving 54,000 adults that found a positive association between fish-derived omega-3s (EPA and DHA) and better cardiovascular health, while no such association was found for plant-based omega-3s (ALA).
We also explore the importance of maintaining a balance between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, as demonstrated by a study comparing the artery health, fat concentration, and blood work of Japanese men living in Japan, Caucasian men, and Japanese-American men.
