Omega 3 (and 6): What You Need To Know
Manage episode 479763014 series 3384806
Dr Bill Harris discusses the critical impact the Omega 3 fatty acids have - not just on our heart health - but on a myriad of other medical conditions.
Bill was one of the earliest researchers in this field. Ever since he gave a fascinating presentation at the Integrative and Personalised Medical Congress in London last year, I’ve been really keen to get him on the podcast.
In our conversation, Bill stresses why he believes the UK NHS's advice on limiting our oily fish intake is inaccurate and badly out-of-date. He reveals why getting enough Omega 3 is crucial.
And in what will be a surprise to many, Bill explains that he doesn’t believe seed oils are problematic and why it is important we also get enough omega 6, which these oils contain.
