Omega 3's are on there, which is interesting... you can also change the filter to show the results based on google search popularity. Very cool and validates vit d, calcium (eggshells too), etc.

I've seen lots of pubmed posts on these forums as proof for certain things and am reminded that if omega 3's can be wrong then any of the other studies could also be wrong. Reminds me of this TED talk which to me is one of the strongest arguments against PUFA and Peat's hated "industry sponsored" research articles.

What doctors don't know about the drugs they prescribe:
