It turns out that along with all of the many benefits of consuming omega-3 fats, new research shows that it can help you live longer too.
Cardiologists from the University of California, San Francisco, and other hospitals measured telomere length over five years in 608 patients who had coronary-artery blockage and previous heart attacks. Researchers found that people with high levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their white blood cells experienced significantly less shortening of telomeres over five years, as compared with patients with lower omega-3 levels.

Think again about keeping little ones so squeaky clean
Research suggests that everyday germs may prevent diseases in adulthood
EVANSTON, Ill. — A new Northwestern University study suggests that American parents should ease up on antibacterial soap and perhaps allow their little ones a romp or two in the mud — or at least a much better acquaintance with everyday germs.
The study is the first to look at how microbial exposures early in life affect inflammatory processes related to diseases associated with aging in adulthood.
Most provocatively, the Northwestern study suggests that exposure …

According the recent numbers released by the CDC, about 47 million people had the swine (H1N1) flu and about 9,820 people died from it.  My math suggests that the chance of dying from this terrible disease stands at about 1 in 4786, or 0.002% chance of dying if you caught the flu.  Keep in mind that they stopped testing for the H1N1 in the summer, so these stats are unreliable guesses, but based on the official numbers I would call this a mild disease.  So much for the panic.  Also …

Treatment for Toxic Vaccine Exposure
1.Place a cold compress on the site of the injection immediately after the injection and continue this for at least two days. If symptoms of fever, irritability, fatigue or flu-like symptoms reoccur—continue the cold compresses until they abate. A cold shower or bath will also help.
2.Take fish oils—I recommend the Norwegian fish oil made by Carlson Labs—it has the correct balance …

“Does the Vaccine Matter?” 
This is the headline of a recent article from the Atlantic.  The article is well written and has many good points about the controversy surrounding the swine flu vaccine.  I won’t try to summarize the whole thing because I think everyone should read it in its entirety.  However I do want to highlight a point or two here.
