Turns out fish oil capsules and similar Omega 3 products are completely useless for brain health. Imagine the people who swallowed expensive fish cum for years now?https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260622014300.htm
>>22104658Omega 3 helps offset the effects of too much omega 6.
>>22104658Ω3s are as essential component of this balanced diet but that doesn't mean fish oil supplements are themselves worthwhile sources of Ω3
>>22104663seafood is the only worthwhile source of omega 3
>>22104658I just bought a bottleWhy is it useless? Ive been taking it for ~6 months now along with other supplements. I used to have loss of feeling in my fingertips but that improved after i started omega 3 and vitamin B12. Now i can feel with my fingertips again
>>22104663>>22104660If you read the article there is nothing to suggest that diets high in omega 3 (ie Mediterranean) are anything except good, it's just the supplements that are ineffective, and it's not entirely clear why.
>>22104658omega 3 oil goes rancid very quickly.
>>22104669Read the article. They don't offer an explanation as to why it's not working, it just isn't. High omega 3 diets are still good though, so just buy some salmon and call it a day.
>>22104658It's how they've always been advertised.
>>22104658stick with high oleic safflower oil.
bought some because i had dry eyes and it felt like it did nothing
>>22104658I developed AFib from supplementing omega-3.
>but a new studyjust sit it outscience is a revolving door
>>22104658>Turns out fish oil capsules and similar Omega 3 products are completely useless for brain health.https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260622014300.htm>Fish oil supplements successfully delivered omega-3s to the brainit just says fish oil isn't an effective treatment for alzheimer's disease. i don't know how many people thought it was. it's not saying it's completely ineffective for brain health.
I'm not taking fish oil capsules when I currently take canola supplements. I eat enough fish and seafood.
>>22104658>he thinks oil and cum are the same things
>>22104658>Background: APOE ε4 carriers have increased Alzheimer's disease risk and altered omega-3 metabolism. No large-scale prevention trials have tested high-dose docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation specifically in non-demented APOE ε4 carriers with low baseline omega-3 intake for early intervention. >Interpretation: High-dose DHA achieved CNS target engagement in non-demented older adults with low baseline omega-3 intake, independent of APOE ε4. Despite biochemical target engagement, no differences in cognition or brain structure were observed over 24 months. Future research should prioritise brain DHA metabolism over further supplementation trials.
most people take fish oil for heart health, not brain health.
>>22104658yeah no shit. also red wine is not "good for you" the study saying it was, was made up to encourage people to by wine because the guy who wrote it his wife had a winery.
>>22104671because most studies fail to take in to account other factors like life style, genetics, and all sorts of other mitigating factors.all studies are bullshit.
>>22104671>not entirely clear why.Same thing as with everything else most likely. Bioavailability and entourage effect
>>22104673>High omega 3 diets are still good though, so just buy some salmon and call it a dayOr just take one omega 3 capsule every day instead and call it a day. Instead of eating salmon every single day
>>22104725this! I have study burn out. back in the 70's they started saying eggs were bad for you, then good, then bad, then good then... who the fuck knows.ignore all studies. especially if they are pushed in /pol/
>>22104854Or you know... just use a little canola in cooking or take a capsule
>>22104658eating or not eating some kind of oil is NOT going to make your health better or worse.eating tons of oil of any kind will.
>>22104858Canola has fake and gay omega 3. >>221048541 tin of sardines a day. Does not need to be salmon.
>>22104864Proof? Not gonna happen so just stfu.
>>22104866>my source is this handy infographic!Proof? It's ALA omega-3 and not EPA/DHA. Your body has to convert ALA omega 3 into EPA/DHA to actually use it. The conversion uses around 15 grams of ALA to make just 1 gram of DHA/EPA.No source needed the difference between ala and dha omega 3 is basic bitch common knowledge.
>>22104887>no proofWhat a gay. Now stfu
>>22104891>doesn't know some of the most basic health related biology that exists.KEK. No wonder you got conned into buying seed oil pills.
>>22104891
>>22104887That doesn't mean it's "fake". ALA still has its own benefits. It's just not "complete".
>one study shows that fish oil doesn't cure altzheimer's the worst most untreatable conditions humans suffer from>this means fish oil doesn't do anything>never mind that omega 6 is required for your body to function normallyimagine being this mentally ill>durr drinking water doesn't fix cancer, stop drinking water, water doesn't work!
>>22104671The oil in the pills are rotten and rancid from sitting in an industrial vat for months.
I wish I could takes these but they give me acid reflux
>>22105107take you a nexium with it buddybut yeah I've had some days where if I burped I would taste fish oil and it sucks
I just eat what makes me feel good. I eat high fibre, relatively low carb (mostly just avoiding sugar where I can, but will still eat bread, pasta, and rice once or twice a week), lots of veggies, a little bit of fruit, eggs, tofu, chicken, and salmon. Lots of cottage cheese, and various herbs from my garden :) I feel good, I feel strong, I don’t feel bloated or inflamed or lethargic. I don’t need a study to know that I shouldn’t eat a bag of gummies or a pound of bacon. Move your bodies, eat a balanced diet in moderation, and try to keep stress and anxiety in check, and you’re already in the top 1 or 2% of lifestyles worldwide. I love you anons, live long healthy lives :)
>>22105107That's a common issue. Some people have less issues taking algae oil, just make sure it has both EPA and DHA since not all of them do.
One day I was in a rush for work, so I took my pills and grabbed my coffee.Took a few sips and could feel the fish oil already begging to come out.Had to pull over and throw up.
>>22105211cute doggo
>>22104658Yeah, nah, these "studies" end up with opposite outcomes all the time depending on who's paying for them.Somewhere floating around /ck/'s archive is a two-screencaps-side-by-side image of a DailyMail story saying that eating eggs has been found to protect against diabetes and a second story saying that eating eggs causes diabetes.IOW nutritionists' studies are basically fucking worthless.
science is fake and gay doe
>>22104658>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STOP EATING THE SHIT WE SOLD YOU TRUST ME GOYIM EAT THE NEW SHIT WE ARE SELLING
Ethics rules make valid dietary studies nearly impossible. The Minnesota Starvation Study was probably the last valid nutrition study and even it ended up being misrepresented by Ancel Keys.
Is there any like, actual policing on standards of studies, or is it just the fucking wild west where any scientist can skew any study one way or another by just tricking the rules somewherelike can I just rip a big fat fucking fart right now, and then smell it, and then write about what I smelt and release that as an official study to the 'scientific community' whatever the fuck that even is
The """nutrition""" industry is a complete sham full of snake oil salesmen and conmen. Every couple years they """discover""" that something we've been doing is actuallly killing us and we need to change it up, only for them to rediscover a few years later uhmmm ackchewally the old way was healthier we need to get back to our roots!First eggs are bad for you because of cholesterol, then eggs are actually good for you because protein! But wait now eggs are bad for you because of.... They keep you going back and forth following fads and bunk science so you're always buying a new diet plan or toxin cleanse or protein bar supplement.You know that conspiracy theory that pharma companies already have a cure for cancer but they don't share it because they make more money selling treatments? Yeah the cancer thing is fake but the entire nutrition industry is built on that principle because the things that actually make people healthier are free or in fact save people money.
>>22104678underrated single sentence horror story
>>22105466Peer review is supposed to do this, but almost all studies suffer from the replicability crisis, and your peers aren't repeating the studies you did to test for it most of the time.
>>22104672this. i'm surprised the general population is so illiterate about oil oxidation
>>22104658This explains why I’m suddenly seeing deep discounts on fish oil capsules
>>22104852The sample size of this study is large enough for those to not matter. And it's not like the researchers selected people based on these traits either, "double blind" means that neither the recipients or the administrators know who is getting the placebo and who is getting the actual drug. Who gets what is random.This study is well put together. It shows that omega 3 capsules are not effective in reducing the symptoms of alzheimers.
>>22104725>About 200% of the timeWhat?
isnt caviar fish cum?
I.tbought omega 3s were good for your joints and like blood pressure or heart health or some shitMan idk
>>22104671>it's just the supplements that are ineffective, and it's not entirely clear why.Could it be that the kinds of people who typically take them are health conscious enough that they don't generally need them?
>>22105798>isn't caviar fish cum?It's effectively the 'reverse' of that. You're just eating the eggs instead of the sperm. So how much do you like fish cunny?
I was taking so much vitamin B that it caused nerve damage and I self-diagnosed my nerve damage as a vitamin B and omega 3 deficiency so I doubled my efforts and then I had nerve damage and diarrheum and finally got blood work and they told me I had B6 toxicity which can take a decade or more to level-out and to stop taking fish oil :[
>>22105817The study was double blind with placebos, it wouldn't matter how health conscious the participants were, they didn't know if they actually had the real thing or not.
>>22105819Yet people still keep repeating that B vitamins are safe to take in any amount because they're water soluble so you pee out the excess.
>>22105826yeah I think most of them are but not beesix at least. it's confusing to call so many compounds "B"
>>22105798no it's fish egg>>22105694it is a humorous edit of 20%
dont worry next week there will be a new study that says actually its good
>>22105828B3 has been associated with toxicity in high amounts too. And not as severe but B12 and B7 have been linked to skin problems.
>>22105413>catching and eating fish is a jewish scam because... >well it just is okay!!!!
>>22104857My favorite was butter."Nooo, butter is bad for you, eat margarine instead!"Twenty years later: "OMFG TRANS FATS WILL KILL YOU!!! Eat butter instead of margarine!"
>>22104738>unironically taking seed oil supplementsyup, this anon wins the biggest goy of the year award.
>>22106250I am convinced it is bait.
>>22105819Become an alcoholic like me, it causes B deficiency. It should balance out in you.
>>22105819how much were you taking?
>>22106356I'm recovering now. I take B1 100 mg 3x a day then Niacin (B3) 300mg, the type that causes flushes 3x a day as well as a gram of liposomal Vit C 3x a day. It apparently works well to detox the body due to the flush reaction.
>>22104658>People want the benefits of osmething without having to cook and eat that specific thing all the timeI can imagine that, yes.
>>22106433I hope you experience quick, a full recovery. Does giving blood help speed the process?
>>22106455Thanks Anon. I'm a little shaky but feeling ok. Eating a lot of good food/water and especially sugar treats like Ice Cream help stave off cravings. I should give blood, but I'll wait until I'm healthy. My blood is no good rn. My Iron ferritin levels are super high, but My Docs don't think it's Hemochromatosis since the same thing happened with my last relapse and then went back down to normal levels in ~3 months. I'm seeing a Hepatologist anyways in September to be sure.
>>22104671Because nutrition is a paeudoscience that looks at where people live and what their projected health outcomes are like and makes sweeping guesses about which specific parts of their nutrition are responsible (without any factual reason to believe that nutrition specifically is responsible)Never trust nutrition "studies". Exercise your own better judgement when it comes to food. If your ancestors are a lot of it, it's probably good for you. If your ancestors wouldn't recognize it as food, it's probably bad for you
>>22107141>Wow these berries sure look tasty :D>How can I tell if they're good for me? >Oh! My ancestors probably ate these! That makes them good! :DDDDD
>>22104658control f dha meh
>>22106433Are you pretending to be me or are you suffering the same B6 affliction as me
>>22104671The same is true for Vitamin D supplements. In that case it appears that the sunlight itself is what is actually beneficial, the studies showing the benefits of Vitamin D were simply correlation.
>>22107360Do you have a source for that one? I want to read it. >In that case it appears that the sunlight itself is what is actually beneficialThe way you've worded this makes it seem like you thought vitamin D is beamed down from the sun and magically enters our body. Vitamin D is produced by our skin when it is hit by UV light rays (like from the sun). Vitamin D supplements do work well if you're deficient or don't get enough sun, but they don't add much if you're already getting enough vitamin D from daily activities.
>>22107147you know, intentionally acting retarded with a cherrypicked example doesn't disprove his point
>>22104658ray peat told you that 30 years ago and noone listened.>>22104663no pufas are necessary
>>22107369>The way you've worded this makes it seem like you thought vitamin D is beamed down from the sun and magically enters our body.I'm honestly not sure how you managed to get to that conclusion from that sentence, especially as you are obviously aware in the broad strokes how vitamin d is produced in humans, and how sunlight is involved in this process.Studies of vitamin d supplements given to vitamin-d deficient persons do show an increase in vitamin-d, but don't show a corresponding improvement in the symptoms of vitamin-d deficiencies. The implication of this is that the vitamin-d deficiency may not be the cause of these symptoms after all, and since vitamin-d deficiency is strongly correlated with lack of exposure to sunlight, that it's possible that there is something else involved, either sunlight itself or something that is also strongly correlated with low sunlight exposure that is either causative or a cofactor in those symptoms.
