Please help me cope with my omega-3 consumption!
I've been buying hake roe in cans for a while and usually split one or two cans between myself and my wife and kid once or twice a week. Sometimes more. Also the occasional cod liver in a can that comes in its own oil. So how bad do you think this is? Here I was thinking I'm so smart and eating... -
Omega-3 increase risk of atrial fibrillation (afib)
It looks like Big Pharma is just living the dream. Considering doctors left and right are recommending massive doses of omega-3 to everybody and their cat, Big Pharma selling drugs that treat afib seems like the perfect conspiracy of "sell them the poison and then the remedy".

PUFA promote torpor / hibernation, decrease lifespan
Not many studies on this topic, but here is one that will hopefully satisfy my critics who keep complaining that there is no evidence for the anti-metabolic, pro-hibernation effects of PUFA.

PUFA are potent immunosuppresive agents
Just a quick post for all those PUFA/fish-oil lovers who keep sending me hate-mail about the "incredibly beneficial" omega-3, and even omega-6 (e.g. some athletes/bodybuilders tout arachidonic acid as a natural "anabolic agent").

PUFA Increases Risk Of All Cancers, Especially Prostate
The bad news for PUFA just keep on coming. There seems to be no health pathology that PUFA does not promote, even indirectly.

PUFA Increases Risks Of Skin Cancers
As the study says - not total fat but its composition in the diet is what drives (skin) cancer risk. And as expected, PUFA "shines" once again. What is particular good about this study is that it exposes both omega-6 and omega-3 as cancer-promoting. Omega-3 has been the defense of last resort...- haidut

PUFA Enhance Glucocorticoid (cortisol) Signalling
I posted some studied in the past on the estrogenic and pro-cortisol effects of PUFA, as well as the pro-androgen effects of SFA.
