Taking fish oil as a supplement or as part of a healthy diet, along with adequate amounts of exercise and stress reduction, can save lives, prevent disease, and reduce our healthcare requirements. In this book, we will discuss the latest science on the benefits of omega-3's and how this special molecule can benefit every organ in our body. We will also focus on how our body's innate natural protective mechanism, the inflammatory response, is hijacked by our poor diet and lifestyle choices and contributes, rather than prevents diseases of aging.

By the bestselling author of Four Fish and American Catch, an eye-opening investigation of the history, science, and business behind omega-3 fatty acids, the "miracle compound" whose story is intertwined with human health and the future of our planet Omega-3 fatty acids have long been celebrated by doctors and dieticians as key to a healthy heart and a sharper brain. In the last few decades, that promise has been encapsulated in one of America's most popular dietary supplements. Omega-3s are today a multi-billion dollar business, and sales are still growing apace--even as recent medical studies caution that the promise of omega-3s may not be what it first appeared. But a closer look at the omega-3 sensation reveals something much deeper and more troubling. The miracle pill is only the latest product of the reduction industry, a vast, global endeavor that over the last century has boiled down trillions of pounds of marine life into animal feed, fertilizer, margarine, and dietary supplements. The creatures that are the victims of that industry seem insignificant to the untrained eye, but turn out to be essential to the survival of whales, penguins, and fish of all kinds, including many that we love to eat. Behind these tiny molecules is a big story: of the push-and-pull of science and business; of the fate of our oceans in a human-dominated age; of the explosion of land food at the expense of healthier and more sustainable seafood; of the human quest for health and long life at all costs. James Beard Award-winning author Paul Greenberg probes the rich and surprising history of omega-3s--from the dawn of complex life, when these compounds were first formed; to human prehistory, when the discovery of seafood may have produced major cognitive leaps for our species; and on to the modern era, when omega-3s may point the way to a bold new direction for our food system. With wit and boundless curiosity, Greenberg brings us along on his travels--from Peru to Antarctica, from the Canary Islands to the Amalfi Coast--to reveal firsthand the practice and repercussions of our unbalanced way of eating. Rigorously reported and winningly told, The Omega Principle is a powerful argument for a more deliberate and forward-thinking relationship to the food we eat and the oceans that sustain us.

Misinformation and misconceptions dominate the nutritional supplement landscape concerning the scientifically proven benefits omega-3 fish oils. Many books claim fish oil supplements to be "miracles" or "wonder pills." But, such is far from the scientific reality of failed and disappointing studies conducted on so-called fish oil products, even though many such products actually come from plants. All studies presented in my book are well referenced and discussion articles are duly credited. This book is the leader in presenting scientifically accurate data and serves to debunk the sea of lies facing the general public regarding an ocean of so-called fish oil products. Basically, there is "no truth in advertising and "anything goes," because none of these products are government regulated for quality or accuracy of contents and dosage. Sadly, marketers and profiteers will "Tell you anything, to sell you anything." Profit is the muddy waters upon which the fish oil industry bobbles about. There is a serious down side to these potentially harmful fish oil products, especially if taken in excessive amounts. Our most reliable scientific studies have found that fish oil does not reduce risk or prevent cardiovascular diseases, strokes, dementia, diabetes, macular degeneration or schizophrenia. Alarmingly, these studies show a significant increased risk of developing prostate cancer. The truth must be told. Dr. Howes was the first in the history of Tulane School of Medicine to receive double doctorate degrees in medicine and biochemistry simultaneously. He was the first to complete board eligibility in both general and plastic surgery at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, all in a six-year period. Dr. Howes invented the triple lumen venous catheter, which has been credited with helping save the lives of over 20 million critically ill patients worldwide. His catheter became the number one venous catheter in the world and his name is well recognized in over 100 countries. He received the Harper Award from the American College for Advancement in Medicine and served as their keynote speaker and in 2013, he was the first to be awarded the Charles Farr award for "excellence in oxidative medicine." Dr. Howes is one of the few physicians and medical scientists that will tell the raw truth concerning the failure of many dietary supplements and point out their potential harm. In 2012, Americans spent $1.1 billion on omega-3 fish oil or on products containing omega-3 fish oil. Yet, books abound spouting lies of the "miraculous benefits" of these products. The public has a right to know the truth.
