I am just concerned about the main source of Omega 3 which is the liver of fish. as you can see, fishes can accumulate mercury and pcb. “:

I’ve been telling my husband about this same thing. I think as I read more about the connection between food and allergies and pain we become more aware and make better choices. I have to do more reading and hopefully hone in on some of the foods we love to eat that also help our bodies heal. Thanks.

Great article – it’s so true that what you eat make a difference in how you feel, in every way, emotionally and physically. Most doctors know very little about this, and even many nutritionists are still putting really outdated information out there.

Just an addition to your Omega 3 EFA list – hemp seed oil! It’s so awesomely high in both Omega 3 and Omega 6. It may be hard to obtain in some places because of regulation due to the fears of politicians and law makers that it will open the doors for cannabis legalization. Which is unfortunate because hemp is an incredible superfood. It has very few known pests, so doesn’t require much in the way of pesticides even when grown by non-organic commercial farmers, but I think most of it is grown organically at this point.

I know in Canada they have been much more sensible about their approach to hemp and much of the hemp in North America is grown there. But if you do a search for “Ruth’s Hemp Products”, you’ll find lots of great hemp-based foods. I’ve heard interviews with her and was really impressed by her knowledge and commitment.

Great info-I am glad to see that Rice Bran Oil is mentioned. Most people are not aware that rice oil has more antioxidants and vitamin E than olive and canola. It also contains gamma-oryzanol which is a more powerful antioxidant than vitamin E.!!!

Gorgeous photo: love the fruit and the pottery.

One of my relatives who is a doctor does not like to hear precisely what you are saying from another relative who knows much more about nutrition than she does.

Thank you for having a blog to educate about nutrition. One doctor, one asked why he doesn’t tell his patients about certain healing diets, said his patients won’t listen anyway. Sad.
