difference between flax seed and other oils

What is the difference between fish oil and flaxseed oil?

Both fish and flax are good sources of omega-3's, and for people who

will not consume fish for any reason, flax will do. Flaxseed oil is

also less expensive, which can be an important consideration as well.

The main difference is that flaxseed oil contains only alpha-

linoleic acid (ALA), which is the parent compound from which other

omega-3 fatty acids are derived. This leaves it to your body to do

the conversion to the other forms it needs, eicosapentaenoic acid

(EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The problem is that the

conversion is not always that efficient, and the body often uses the

ALA for extra energy, leaving less for conversion to the other types.

Fish oil, on the other hand, contains the other forms and delivers

them directly to your body with no conversion necessary. Whatever

form you decide to take, nutritionists recommend to back it up with

an extra 400 IU of vitamin E (as mixed tocopherols) to prevent the

fatty acids from breaking down too rapidly in your body.

Dr. Barry Sears Ph.D - " Since the body cannot make essential fatty

acids, they must be a part of your daily diet. Essential fatty acids

are classified as either long-chain omega-6 or long-chain omega-3,

depending on the position of the double bonds in the fatty acid

molecule. When metabolized, long-chain omega-6 and omega-3 fatty

acids produce eicosanoids, which can have dramatically different

physiological actions in your body. Simply said, the omega-6 fatty

acids found in processed shortenings and vegetable oil products

produce " bad " eicosanoids and the omega-3 fatty acids found

abundantly in cold water fish and fish oils produce " good

eicosanoids, " which control silent inflammation. The problem with our

diet today is it contains numerous sources of omega-6 from processed

foods and very little omega-3 fatty acids. " Learn more: Inflammation

and Its Relationship to Chronic Disease by Dr Barry Sears

Eskimos have a high intake of omega-3 fatty acids and a low incidence

of heart, joint and skin problems

The low death rate from heart disease among Eskimos, about one tenth

of that in many Western countries, has led to interest in the

beneficial effects of fish fatty acids, such as EPA and DHA. These

fatty acids are abundant in the Eskimo diet, where their content is

20 times higher than in the European and the American diet. Among the

Eskimos not only heart disease but also joint and skin diseases are

uncommon. Fatty fish should be an ideal source of omega-3 fatty

acids. However, most fish today are contaminated with environmental

poisons. Another problem is that fatty fish become rancid immediately

after death. That is the reason why Chinese people bring home their

fish from the shop in a living state. A third problem is that the

fatty acids can be destroyed during the preparation of the fish, e.g.

grilling or frying. These are some reasons why fish oils have been

developed as substitution for fish. Several fish oil preparations

containing omega-3 fatty acids are now available either as natural

fish oil concentrates

Fish Oil: The Natural Anti-inflammatory

by ph Maroon, Ph.D.

Did you know that the root cause of serious chronic diseases such as

heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, arthritis, and asthma has

been identified as chronic inflammation? Although numerous studies

have confirmed these findings, few physcians are aware of or consider

the fact that the battle against inflammation is at the forefront of

the fight for health and well-being of the global population. Authors

ph Maroon and Bost have set out to reverse that trend

with " Fish Oil: The Natural Anti-Inflammatory.
