Nutrition Articles
1: Fish Oil
Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oils and other natural sources provide many health benefits. The predominance of grains in modern diets has shifted the fatty acid balance and contributed to many modern degenerative diseases.
2: Is Common Sense or Research Needed to Cure Cancer?
It is assumed that cancer will be vanquished by the march of science and research. But the evidence shows that modernity is the cause, not the cure. The cancer answer lies within everyone's grasp right now.
3: Dietary Approach
The goal of achieving optimal fatty acid nutrition must be approached by altering the fatty acid composition of the day-to-day meal pattern.
4: The Need To Change Lipid Nutriture
There are likely factors other than just the incorporation of high levels of fish oils in the diet which have protective effects against cardiovascular disease.
5: Broad Health Effects
Alteration of the fatty acid content of the diet has much potential beyond just cardiovascular and inflammatory effects. The scientific literature is unveiling new diseases that may be altered, cured, or prevented with fatty acid therapy
6: Atherogenesis
The putative ability of fish oils to affect cardiovascular health has focused considerable attention on lipid nutriture. Investigations of societies consuming high levels of omega-3 and -9 oils as well as both prospective and retrospective scientific studies have demonstrated the increasing importance of dietary fats.
7: Lipid Transport
Once lipids are disassembled in the intestinal lumen and mucosal cell (enterocyte) they are reassembled in the mucosal cell as chylomicrons (CM's) and very low density lipoproteins (VLDL's). These vehicles contain primarily nonpolar cholesterol esters and triglycerides in the core and polar cholesterol, protein, and phospholipids in their membranes.
8: Lipids In Inflammation
Inflammation is a broad term describing the body's reaction to injury. It is a necessary process enabling defense against toxins and pathogens, protection against further damage, and repair of tissue.
9: Fatty Acid Pathways
Fatty acids exist in the body primarily as triglycerides and phospholipids. Phospholipids make up the bilipid membrane of cells and the membranes of organelles within the cytoplasm.
10: Essential Fatty Acids
Linoleic and linolenic acid contain omega-6 and 3 bonds and are necessary for mammalian metabolism. These two fatty acids are therefore essential fatty acids (EFA) and must be supplied by the diet.
