I'm pleased to have learned two things: the alarmist headlines were wrong (I had been considering stopping fish oil), and the new triglyceride form is best.
Dr Paul Mason also mentions that a lot of fish oil supplements are rancid and people don't know because the gel caps prevents people from smelling it. Fish oil needs to be kept refrigerated from the time of manufacture to its shipping and sale, if not it can become easily rancid. That's why it's better to eat fatty fish because you can easily smell if the fish is rancid. He also mentions that a lot of olive and avocado oil are adulterated with cheaper seed oils. You need to have trustworthy sources to make sure that they are what they claim
I see A-Fib all day long. In a majority of patients going into AF , the left atrium is enlarged. Most often from hypertension. Most hypertension arises from metabolic syndrome and obesity. I suspect a large number of these patients were primed for AF by poor lifestyle.
I AM 68 year old female diagnosed with A-Fib. Have low blood pressure, no other health risk factors, normal BMI, and have been very low carb for decades and carnivore more recently. No one can tell me why/how I got A-Fib. Any ideas?
@@desertfox4556 My guess is that the most likely cause of A-Fib w/o other serious cardio-vascular issues would involve minerals - low levels of at least one of the essential minerals, whether of one or another of the major minerals (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, ... and all the key nutrients such as D3/K2 needed to metabolize one or another mineral) and/or low levels of any of the dozens of trace minerals. Alternatively, a toxin such as fluoride blocking iodine, could mimic a deficiency in that mineral. My second guess would be that increasing numbers of Americans and those on similar diets are somewhat deficient in BOTH the Omega 3's and some of the minerals, and those people are at increased risk of more serious cardio-vascular symptoms. Those with good Omega 3 levels, but low in one or more of the (many) essential minerals might (1) get A-Fib from the less robust, less finely tuned, electrical activity of some heart related tissue, but (2) not get any more serious symptoms because their Omega-3 rich cardio tissues can handle a bit of A-Fib now and then.
I think we are supposed to be taking wild Norwegian cod liver oil a daily basis, just like Depression babies were given in their childhood. Although I already have my daily dose of 5000 IU of vitamin D derived from cod liver oil, since I quit a lesser quality Omega 3 supplement, I am seriously considering adding a daily teaspoon of Carlson brand wild Norwegian cod liver oil, without approaching anything even close to a toxic dose of fish liver oil. It will be an experiment. I have no family history of heart disease, and my mother is quite healthy at age 94.
I find IF i keep the fish oil in the refrigerator, it doesn't burp up! My mom used to keep it in the freezer - but I think that isn't necessary, but if it works for you - do it!
I have taken it for 3 months. 58yo and fatty liver borderline type 2 for 20 yrs. Clears foggy brain in a week. However greatest benefit and it is huge. I sleep through the night I don't move. I ran out within 2 weeks was back to up 1-4AM and feeling like crap.
I am 65 y/o. I finally tried smoked herring for the first time about a month ago! Where have they been all my life😅. Herring is at the top of the list for Omega-3. However, I think canned sardines are more nutrient dense. So, to solve that issue, I mix a can of Kippers with a can of Sardines!!😊
There’s a big difference between correlation and causality, similar to LDL and CVD. Unless the person kept a daily diet journal, the likelihood of reliability in reporting is very low. How many of these people ate carbs, starches, grains, and seed oils? A big issue is listening to mainstream media.

Hi Doctor-Could you comment on the efficacy of MCT(C8) oil for weight loss and health? Also, are their problems in combining MCT oil with fish oil? I’ve used fish oil to combat pain from a bone-on-bone damaged knee. Thank you.
Compiling the info from Dr Boz, I feel 2 things minimum for health. Address IR, eat real food. After that supplements can be a useful tool. I wish I knew that 20, 30 and more years ago. But thank God I have today and can plan tomorrow. Fish oil will also lubricate the skin if you take enough. I lived in the Arctic. At 40 below zero the air is so dry over a short period your fingers will crack deeply and bleed. Folks use lots of skin moisturizers. I took 4-6 capsules aday and my skin did not crack. (It can be painful). Tradition Alaskan Natives ate seal, fish, fowl and whale. Until modern American food, they never had the issues of our modern world. Just something interesting.
Did I miss the part about odd-chain (C-15) fatty acids? I've heard a lot about them, but mostly from the same source and I'd like to know if there's any validity to the claims.
I stopped. Devolped horrible palpitations and high blood pressure after taking fish oils for two months. Happy to say I'm back to normal now. I eat sardines and salmon. Forget those pills
Yes please! Great if you are speaking to medical colleagues but for your keto fans just tell us the findings. Yes or no. Is fish oil beneficial and I’d so to what extent. Thank you.
I do have to wonder about the people taking fish oil, are they just in general taking better care of themselves and taking other supplements? I'm not anti-fish oil but instead eat salmon or sardines at least 4-5 days a week.
Ok, the inuit ( eskimo) people had studies done on their diet. Those ithat ate more than 3 servings of salmon per week would have increased stroke risk. Nothing to do with omega 6 oils. So, I think there may be something to this.
Can you please reference the study. All the ones on the Inuit I have found are pointing toward a poor man's Western diet, not the ancestral appropriate diet. I have been following their health decay for 2 decades.
@@charlessmith3710 I did another search about what you stated. Could not find it in PubMed. I did find this in one study... "Conclusions: A diet featuring high food variety, high fish intake, and low sugar intake was negatively associated with the prevalence of cardiovascular outcomes among Inuit."
The Inuits increase in heart disease increase with the introduction of western foods which includes prossessed foods, higher sugar and carbs and it wrecked their metabolism. Many legitimate studies showing this.
In regards to the study - correlation does not equal causation. To claim the risk of Afib for "healthy" users of FOS is higher vs those who dont take FOS is "caused" by the FOS without defining "healthy" and controlling for other factors (smoking, exercise, weight, etc) and without tracking whether these people continue to take FOS and their lifestyle habits over time, this "study" is useless like most others.
Confused! Take or not? Better to just do sardines? When operated anterior hip replacement was a bleeder had to stay hospitalized a week. Try an outline to help not forget . Sorry hope this is not a hurtful critique.
I did a 4 day sardine fast and felt terrible. My uric acid and ferritin are very high but I don’t get gout symptoms. Thoughts as to why? On a different note, i ordered fatty 15 and am very hopeful it does what they say it does.
I've had to reduce the amount of fish oil that I take because I would bleed at lot with the slightest bump. I'd be grocery shopping and put something in the trolley and then realise that there was blood on my arm from where I had knocked myself on something.
I do not comprehend this. Sometimes you dr Boz look incredibly young although in other videos you look more real to age. what is up? is it the keto diet making you age backwards?
Just a lesson to ignore headlines with the words “may” and “associated “. I want proof of cause before I will give serious consideration to research studies !
If I’m still showing ketones in my urine does that mean my body is not using my ketones? Also, my glucose was 95 when I woke up this morning after a 14 hour fast. I am healing from surgery (5days out). I usually am in the 60’s when I get lab work done. Why am I high?
First, measuring when you first wake up is a waste of time... mainly because of the dawn effect....unless that is what you are measuring. It is also very subjective based on what and when you ate the night before and the quality of sleep you had. Your body will produce the glucose it thinks it needs, but you did not say what kind of food you eat. What was your measurements throughout the day?
@@JimWooddell I’m carnivore and I’ve never checked my glucose before except when the doctor ordered labs. Today was the first day I took my own and I’ve always been low when I go to labs. 44-68. Usually around 64 as an average. So I was just curious about why the first time I took it it would be high. I’m grateful for your help so thank you for letting me know to research the dawn effect.
Eat a can of sardines & do yoga stretches every day, plus do weightlifting, sprints & 20 mins in the sauna every other day & volunteer weekly (in a social setting) so on your 100th birthday, your mobility & cognitive will be like you're only age 50! Also, the trial was flawed, omega 3 fish oil is very good for you

I'm pleased to have learned two things: the alarmist headlines were wrong (I had been considering stopping fish oil), and the new triglyceride form is best.
Don't forget... Many fish oil supplements are full of soy bean or canola oil. Check the ingredients!!!!
I was just thinking this too!
. We threw away all the ones we had about a year ago because of this. The good stuff is not cheap.
So look for sardines in water? Where to look for small sardines (so they have their heads) in something other than an unsafe oil.

I use sports research fish oil. It's triglyceride Form and IFOS 5 star rated. However it's more expensive than standard fish oils.
Once they abused the absolute/ relative risk %, I mentally threw out that garbage media report!!!!

Cod liver and fatty fish in general gives me indigestion. So I switched to a certain kelp, rich in Omega 3 like the Omega 3 in fish.
I read that cod liver oil is very high in vitamin a. Vitamin A is usually not recommended for supplementation.
Keep your fish oil in the frig too!! ;)

I do not comprehend this. Sometimes you dr Boz look incredibly young although in other videos you look more real to age. what is up? is it the keto diet making you age backwards?
Are you always mean?
Just a lesson to ignore headlines with the words “may” and “associated “. I want proof of cause before I will give serious consideration to research studies !
What about C15:0, pentadecanoic acid or cod liver oil?
Cod liver oil is not the best source of Omega-3.
Rosita Cod liver is. Its also purest form of fish liver oil. Same is true for Omega3Innovations.
@gouthamreddy92 very low in omega-3
I can guarantee that they taking fish oil were eating the wrong foid with it.
We don't need fish oil .are we sea mammals ?
And what were they eating besides the veggies? Just rediculous study
If I’m still showing ketones in my urine does that mean my body is not using my ketones? Also, my glucose was 95 when I woke up this morning after a 14 hour fast. I am healing from surgery (5days out). I usually am in the 60’s when I get lab work done. Why am I high?
Ur healing
Ur stressed from surgery
@@YeshuaKingMessiah thank you for your help.
First, measuring when you first wake up is a waste of time... mainly because of the dawn effect....unless that is what you are measuring. It is also very subjective based on what and when you ate the night before and the quality of sleep you had. Your body will produce the glucose it thinks it needs, but you did not say what kind of food you eat. What was your measurements throughout the day?
@@JimWooddell I’m carnivore and I’ve never checked my glucose before except when the doctor ordered labs. Today was the first day I took my own and I’ve always been low when I go to labs. 44-68. Usually around 64 as an average. So I was just curious about why the first time I took it it would be high. I’m grateful for your help so thank you for letting me know to research the dawn effect.
@@JimWooddell first of the day is most important says Dr Boz lol
Shows healing
Or not 😜
Eat a can of sardines & do yoga stretches every day, plus do weightlifting, sprints & 20 mins in the sauna every other day & volunteer weekly (in a social setting) so on your 100th birthday, your mobility & cognitive will be like you're only age 50! Also, the trial was flawed, omega 3 fish oil is very good for you

Wow I could not follow this rambling discussion at all; can you tighten your delivery so it can be followed easily? I watched three times and am still unsure what you recommend.
You have brain fog, we suggest fish oil
Cute
You must have lost a lot of weight with all that fasting. If not why do it?
I’m guessing it’s for autophagy?
you remind me stranger things
I test ApoB/ApoA and CRP test for CR.
