The Ultimate In Nutritive Oils

A December 2002 study reported on in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition reported that the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids – typically found in fish and fish oils have anti-inflammatory properties and, therefore, might be useful in the management of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, including coronary heart disease, cancer, arthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis and migraine headaches.

Researchers from the University of Ulster have also found that a diet rich in oily fish, such as mackerel and herring, may significantly reduce symptoms of lupus. The researchers looked at the effects of fish oil supplements, given 3 times a day for 24 weeks. By the conclusion end of the study, those taking the fish oil supplements had reduced disease activity, improved quality of life, far less fatigue, and reported feeling overall in better health than the placebo group. Lead researcher Dr Emeir Duffy said: “ 'From our study and from other work, there is evidence that increasing dietary intake of the polyunsaturated fats found in fatty fish can have beneficial effects for lupus sufferers. Good examples of fatty fish include mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, tuna and salmon.”
