Atom Bergstrom & Morley Robbins – Do We Really Need Omega 3 Oils?
Description
ANNOUNCEMENT: SUPPLEMENTS TO HELP REPAIR MITOCHONDRIA TO REDUCE OXIDATION & MAKE ATP
We had a great show today with Atom Bergstrom from Solar Timing and Sun Sync Nutrition along with long time friend and amazing human Morley Robbins from The Root Cause Protocol.
I love these two guys so much.
We had a great time discussing whether or not we need to be consuming Omega 3 fats. Omega 3’s come in the form of fish oils algae oils DHA and other poly unsaturated fats.
The problem according to Atom is that they oxidize and combine with estrogen and heavy metals which creates lipofuscin or yellow fat disease.
Morley’s take is that there’s only an issue with lipofuscin because of excess iron and a lack of bioavilable copper to counteract that iron.
The main issue I have is we do not yet know how much we need to decrease iron in order for PUFAs to not get oxidized. The other issue I have is we do not yet know how much vitamin A we need in order to get copper loaded into ceruloplasmin.
I really wish we could know these things. If we could, we could know whether or not the risk is worth the benefit when taking fish oils for example.
We also do not know how much vitamin a, aka retinol or retinoic acid is in butter, eggs, cheese, milk and these types of foods.
So we don’t know how much retinol these foods contain AND we don’t know how much wee need to force copper into the ceruloplasmin protein to become “bio available”.
So the rest I’ll leave up to you! 🙂
Enjoy the show and please share!!
