Guest guest Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I'm having trouble finding out the details of how heat affects omega 3 fatty acids - does cooking pastured meat destroy the omega-3's in the fat - or does it depend on the temperature it's cooked? I've read that milk contains very little Omega-3 fats (but then most milk is from grain-fed cattle - or soy-fed cattle); so does raw pastured milk contain a good ratio of omega-3? I'm reading now that supplements of omega-3 don't raise the blood levels nearly as much as foods containing them. But if you cook them briefly (like walnuts in bread, or salmon) would that destroy the omega-3's? Are walnuts you buy in the store heat-treated or are they " raw " - I head this discussion about other nuts but mostly people seem to buy raw cashews or almonds. Does anyone know of an informative site that goes into this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
