Eating Well for Optimum Health: The Essential Guide to Food, Diet, and Nutrition
At last, a book about eating (and eating well) for health — from Dr. Andrew Weil, the brilliantly in-novative and greatly respected doctor who has been instrumental in transforming the way Americans think about health. Now Dr. Weil — whose nationwide outstanding-sellers Spontaneous Healing and Eight Weeks to Optimum Health have made us aware of the body’s capacity to heal itself — provides us with a program for improving our well-being by making informed choices about how and what we eat. He gives us all the basic facts about human nutrition. Here is everything we need to know about fats, protein, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins, and their effects on our health. He equips us to make decisions about the latest miracle diet or reducing aid. At the heart of his book, he presents in easy-to-follow detail his recommended OPTIMUM DIET, including complete weekly menus for use both at home and in restaurants. He provides eighty-five recipes accompanied by a rigorous and reliable nutritional breakdown — delicious recipes reminding us that we can eat for health without giving up the essential pleasures of eating. Customized dietary advice is included for dozens of common ailments, among them asthma, allergies, heart disease, migraines, and thyroid problems. Dr. Weil helps us to read labels on all food products and thereby become much wiser consumers. Throughout he makes clear how an optimal diet can both supply the basic needs of the body and fortify the body’s defenses and mechanisms of healing. And he always stresses that good food — and the good feeling it engenders at the table — is not only a delight but also necessary to our well-being, so that eating for health means enjoyable eating. In sum, a hugely practical and inspiring book about food, diet, and nutrition that stands to change — for the better and the healthier — our most fundamental ideas about eating.

Oxidation Negates Fish Oil’s Many Benefits

Abstract: akins health food
Tag:

A team at New Zealand’s Crop & Food Research Institute
believe that a failure to control the oxidation process of fish
oil could be putting consumers of supplements at risk. The team
tested fish oil samples from the UK and Asian markets and found
many of them to contain oxidation byproducts, even before the
sell-by date.

The Opposite Effect

This could lead to the products having the opposite effect from
the one intended. Fish oil supplements help with
atherosclerosis, among many other uses.But oxidized oils have
been shown to increase the risk of atherosclerosis in some human
trials.

Fish oil begins to oxidize as soon as it is exposed to oxygen,
metals, light, and heat. At late stages,oxidation will make the
fish oil smell rancid, but early stages have almost no aroma,
and are still harmful.

Not the Best Vitamin E

Vitamin E is sometimes added to fish oil to prevent oxidation,
but many producers use alpha-tocopherol, a less expensive but
also less potent form.

The New Zealand team is investigating whether antioxidant plant
extracts could be added to fish oils to make them greater stable.

Dr. Mercola’s Comment:Without question, omega-3 fats from fish
or cod liver oilis one ofthe most important food choices you can
includein your diet.

At this time of year most people in the northern hemisphere will
benefit from cod liver oil rather thanfish oil as the extra
vitamin D in the cod liver oil will be an excellent practical
substitute for lack of sun exposure.

Practical Problems With Most Fish and Cod Liver Oils

Remember that most fish are contaminated with mercury and other
toxins and should be avoided, so you will want to find a
high-quality fish or cod liver oil supplement. When searching
for a brand, it is important to find a source that is
independently tested by a lab and found to conform to the
highest purity guidelines.

But how do you know which fish oil is greatest for you? Here are
three quick tests:

  • Make sure that your brand is free of mercury and PCBs. This will
    not be on the label so you will need to:

    • Contact the manufacturer for their analysis

    • Review an independent third party that has analyzed the product

    • Hire a company to test the product yourself

  • Confirm that there are very low oxidation products in the fish
    or cod liver oil.

    It is important to understand fish oil and cod liver oil have
    long-chain unsaturated fats (primarily EPA and DHA), and they
    are very susceptible to oxidation or damage. If the oil is not
    processed properly damage will occur. Many years ago nearly all
    the fish oils were oxidized. That is why when you mention cod
    liver oil to most anyone they turn up their nose in disgust.
    Typically, they only taste bad when they are oxidized.

  • Make certain that your fish oil or cod liver oil has therapeutic
    levels of vitamin E in it.

    Nearly all manufacturers insert a small amount of one unit per
    teaspoon. This is sufficient to prevent oxidation of the fish
    oil in the bottle. However, after you consume it this is
    woefully inadequate. Your body will tend to oxidize the fish oil
    and much larger doses of vitamin E are needed to prevent the
    fish oil from going rancid in your body.

  • Those of you who read the newsletter regularly know I’m a fan of
    the Carlson’s brand of fish oil and cod liver oil, as I have
    seen clear and often substantial improvements in my patients who
    use it.

    Carlson’s fish and cod liver oil is one of the few brands that
    put the extra vitamin E in it for you straight from the get-go,
    so you don’t have to take extra vitamin E if you don’t want to.
    This extra vitamin E will help protect against the oxidation
    concern discussed in the study above.

    You can find the Carlson’s fish oil or cod liver oil at your
    local health food store, or, for your convenience, in my
    Recommended Products section.

    But Wait . A Safe Source of Fish?

    While fish would be an excellent omega-3 source, mercury levels
    in almost all fish have now hit dangerously high levels across
    the world, and the risk of this mercury to your health now
    outweighs the fish’s omega-3 benefits.

    However, after searching for a safe source of fish you can eat
    without having to worry about mercury levels and added toxins, I
    finally discovered one: Vital Choice Alaskan Wild Red Salmon. I
    had the salmon, which are harvested in Alaskan waters, tested
    through an independent lab and it was found to be free of
    toxins. I also tasted it in a variety of recipes, and I can now
    confidently and enthusiastically recommend this source to you.

    The fish is certainly a far further expensive way to obtain your
    omega-3 fats, but it may be the inimitable as there is absolutely no
    processing involved and you are obtaining the fish oil in its
    completely natural state.
