Omega 3 and 6 SECRETS Nobody Tells YOU

[@createthebestme]

*5 Key Lessons:* *1. The Importance of Omega-3 and Omega-6 Oils:* Most people don't get enough omega-3 for optimal health, and industrial processing often damages the oils we consume. *2. Risk of Conventional Oils:* Conventional oils are prone to damage from light, oxygen, and heat, leading to a high count of damaged molecules that pose health risks. *3. Dietary Recommendations:* Udo advises against using colorless, odorless oils and frying foods and recommends a diet consisting of fresh, whole, raw, organic, plant-based foods. *4. Plant-Based Protein Sources:* For those concerned about protein intake in a plant-based diet, Udo points to abundant sources like seeds, nuts, beans, and lentils. *5. Health Benefits of Proper Oils:* Switching to oils made with health considerations in mind can lead to a significant public health improvement, especially for brain health and metabolic rate.

I commend what you're trying to do, but this comes across like a long commercial for this guy's oil and fear mongering as to why other oils are "poison" or "bad" which really is not at all what the data in human trials and epidemiology report. Regular store bought oils are more health promoting than saturated fat rich alternatives like butter, ghee, lard, tallow, and coconut oil when accounting for calories. So one can cook with oils like avocado and olive oil and feel confident knowing they are making a health promoting choice. Canola oil typically has about 1 gram of ALA (omega 3) which, while not enormous, is something. Flaxseed oil is very rich with ALA however, and a serving of walnuts has about 2.5g of ALA. The fear generating claim that over a quintillion molecules are damaged in regular oils, even if trivially true, means really nothing because Udo even stated that's just 1% of all molecules. So 99% is fine as he stated. Just to illustrate the silliness of that claim: if I'm 99% sure I'm going to win the lottery tomorrow, I'm going to take that bet or put another way, if a bowl of 10,000 almonds has 100 randomly placed almonds that may give me food poisoning, I'm going to feel very confident to grab a handful from that bowl. The point is this point he makes is really serves no purpose other than pedestal his own product. I generally don't advise to clients to make nuts and seeds a primary protein source because the calories are going to be high from the healthy fats which might make weight loss more challenging. Pulses, beans, lentils, soy, seitan, etc., are better protein containing options with fewer calories per serving so long as an allergy is not present. Eating raw foods isn't really necessary, especially when we consider cooking can improve texture, palatability, and nutrient bioavailability in some cases.

Thank you for your comments. I love free speech, no matter how informed or uninformed it might be and no matter whether I agree or disagree. Free speech may just be the beginning of conversation that might lead to learning. That can only be a good thing. It is always better to know than not to know. Required for making informed choices. I don't think of telling it like it is as fear-mongering. It is easy to criticize. Not nearly as easy to bust my butt to correct the damage and offer a better, because healthier, alternative. I was broke for about 15 years (including moved in with my mother for 4 years) to put this alternative together, based on what I was learning from reading the research journal articles on the results of experiments done with oils by the industry and the researchers employed by it. The damage done to oils by industry processing came out of the Journal 'Lipids', which was an instrument of the American Oil Chemists Society (AOCS). The number of damaged oil in a tablespoon is 60 quintillion if it is 1% damaged. More than a million damaged molecules for every one of the body's 60 trillion cells. That's a lot. Cells are very sensitive to their environment. They have to adapt to changing environments to protect health and homeostasis. Only a few hundred molecules are needed to change gene expression up or down. And, by the say, I want ALL (100%) of my almonds to be free toxins that can give me food poisoning. You know why? Because I can. I no longer play Russian Roulette with my health (I used to when I was young, stupid, and full of my own testosterone. That's how I got poisoned, and that led to my effort that began an industry of making oils with health in mind). if someone else had done that, I would also be promoting THEIR oil. At this point, no one else is doing it. For weight, a lot of people still think that eating fat will make them fat. Not true, especially for omega-3 (I call them the fat-burning fire-starter), which turns OFF the fat-making gene (fatty acid synthase) and turns ON the fat-burning genes (about 7-14 genes, depending which ones you include; the research literature is not completely clear). But carbs can over-ride omega-3, so to lose weight, you INCREASE intake of undamaged oils with emphasis on omega-3 AND at the same time, you LOWER intake of carbs. A fuel shift, not a fuel addition. Carbs are still the main reason for over-weight as body fat, because any carbs you eat but don't burn for energy needs MUST be converted into fat for storage (in case there is a famine and you can then live of your fat). Carbs ensure this by turning off the fat burning genes and turning on the fat production gene. You can also get overweight from inflammation, which leads to water retention. Omega-3 help in both case of overweight. They turn on fat burning. And they have powerful anti-inflammatory benefits. We did a study in Denmark with both strength and endurance athletes. When they took 1 Tablespoon per 50 pounds of body weight of the oil blend, mixed in foods and intake spread out over the course of the day, their performance when they did their sport to exhaustion increased on average by 40-60% within 30 days. We kept them on this protocol for 6 weeks. Then we took them off the oils and watched their performance decline. We kept them off the oil for 6 weeks. Then we put them back on and watched their performance go back up. We wanted to do another washout and another 6 weeks on the oil blend, but they bolted, because they liked the results so much that they were unwilling to forego the oil. I hope that this reply is food for thought. You can try it and observe the results you or your clients get. Your industry is filled with people looking for results. Either you get them or you don't. One more thing: Your view on oils and weight appears to come from courses you took to obtain your credentials (I'm guessing). Those views and courses might need to be updated. The word in the village these days is that seed oils and omega-6 oils are toxic and should be avoided. I disagree with those who say that, and none of them have ever had a conversation with me, even though I am the originator of flax seed oil (1986), the author of a comprehensive book (FATS THAT HEAL FATS THAT KILL, 1993), and the developer of a method for making sensitive omega-3 and omega-6 oils with health in mind. Those detractors of seed oils and omega-6 oils are blaming the oils for problems that should be blamed on the damage done to these oils by industry and in our kitchens by frying. The key important point is this: In the world of nutritional fats and oils, the priority for health must be on the 2 essential fatty acids that the body can't make but must have for life and for health. They should be from organically grown seeds (no pesticides), undamaged (made under protection from light, oxygen, and high heat), in the right ratio to one another (because they compete for enzymes space and to much of one can crowd out the other, and vice versa), in glass (oils swell plastic and plastic then leaches into oils faster than into water), and in the right amount (ballpark optimum is 1Tbsp/50 pounds of body weight/day, mixed in foods). More health problems come from damaged oils than from any other part of nutrition. More health benefits come from the oil change that the body needs than any other part of nutrition. I've been pioneering this topic for more than 40 years. Warm regards to you! Udo🙏💖🙏

@LineLegacyLife Thanks for the reply! I do admire your dedication to this field. When I'm talking about the 1% vs 99% "damaged" molecules it's just a calculation of risk for me and what my strength of certainty is if making a recommendation to anyone. In order for me to recommend this very specific oil, I would need to see very convincing empirical evidence from a well powered, tightly controlled human trial comparing this oil to another flaxseed oil, another vegetable oil like canola, and placebo then measuring primary outcomes like systemic inflammatory markers like CRP, IL-6, TNF-a, etc, with bonus points for also having observed clinical outcomes like further improvement in insulin sensitivity or further reduced risk of heart disease to sway my position on the benefits of the specific oil outweighing the cost. That's a very high bar certainly but I'm just being honest. I do already use flaxseed oil that is manufactured in a cGMP compliant facility so my current position is that the 1% is not worth the additional cost as the health benefits are very likely already nearly maximized. I trust the human body can manage the molecules without issue as no such issue has been born out in the research to indicate any type of harm to health. 1 tablespoon/50lbs of bodyweight seems like a ton of oil. I would be consuming nearly 500 calories from oil were into follow that. I see no reason to do that based on the evidence given consumption of whole foods containing unsaturated fats will be more satieting and likely less costly. If a bottle of oil has 30 servings of go through that in just over 1 week which is not at all worthwhile based on the evidence in familiar with. I'm quite pro-oil though based on the evidence, especially when oil is replacing saturated fat in the diet. I do not hold the position that linoleic acid is inherently bad for human beings. Quite the opposite. Various tissue levels biomarker meta-analyses have been done by the FORCE consortium showing more linoleic acid in tissues is generally beneficial and at worst neutral to health. I also do not hold the position that eating fat makes one fat so long as calories are controlled. Eating excess calories beyond their energy requirements for prolonged periods of time leads to fat gain, it's thermodynamics. Higher fat diets like the Mediterranean style dietary pattern is very health promoting. Eating more carbs does not lead to fat gain either as the carbohydrate-insulin model of obesity like to posit. This has been thoroughly researched and a 2017 meta-analysis by Hall and Guo of metabolic ward feeding trials showcased this. Often weight loss with lower carb diets with energy accounted for comes down to water loss if carbs are reduced low enough. Traditional ketogenic style diets that are high protein promote satiety through protein and allow people to lose weight, it's not breaking the laws of thermodynamics. I appreciate the time taken for you to write your reply. If you have references to primary literature I'm happy to look at them. At present, I don't hold the position that the evidence is strong enough to warrant not cooking with other oils in place of saturated fat rich sources of food because of 1% the container molecules are potentially "damaged". Wishing you the best Udo!

@@Parker_Miller_M.S. A few more things. I developed flax seed oil in 1986. I became omega-6 deficient when I used flax seed oil as my only source of fat in the diet. Flax seed oil contains about 4 times more omega-3 than omega-6. Unbalanced. Most other oils are unbalanced the other way, in favor of omega-6, which can crowd out omega-3 and make a person functionally deficient in omega-3 (meaning you have omega-3 in the diet but they cannot compete for enzyme space by the vast preponderance of omega-6). The same enzymes convert both EFAs; hence the competition between them based on the ratio of one to the other. . Omega-3 is a 'warming' oil, as opposed to tropical oils/fats, which are 'cooling' oils. Omega-3 is 'warming' because it increases oxidation rate, metabolic rate, energy production, and thermogenesis. That is also why it is so good for athletic performance when it is not damaged. And why, being more abundant in polar regions, it helps to keep you warm in winter. Tropical oils are cooling, slow down metabolic rate and energy levels, which is what you want in hot tropical climates. But not as effective for athletic performance. You can find much of what I say in PubMed/Medline if you use key words in a search. But not everything. We are not affiliated with a university. I took biochemistry and genetics at university, took all the courses, did the research, and left just short of writing up the thesis and doing the thesis defense. All our work has been in the real world, about 40 countries, with thousands of customers, doing surveys, encouraging feedback, and practical experience with ratios, and optimum amounts (dry skin is a sign that you need more omega-balanced oil, because both EFAs together form a barrier in the skin against the loss of moisture), BUT, skin gets oils last and loses them first because you can live with dry skin but not with a dry liver, heart, or brain. Nature's makes sure inner organs get it before skin. Skin only gets enough when the rest of the body has what it needs. So we can measure optimum intake by how skin feels. That's where the 1Tbsp/50 pounds/day comes from. Fast metabolizers might need a bit more. Slower metabolizers need less. In summer you need less than in winter because more of it is burned for warmth in winter. About 60-80% or EFAs given as triglycerides is metabolized for energy. The rest is converted into derivatives, eicosanoids, and powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory molecules. Finally, it is difficult to get optimum oil intake from seeds and nuts. I tried it. Couldn't do it. Some people might be able to, but not me, so I eat seeds and nuts, but oil as well to make optimum intake happen. I hope some of this is helpful to you. Thank you for your openness. Be well! 💥 Udo

@@LineLegacyLife I do understand that omega 3 ALA conversion to EPA and DHA is rather inefficient but nonetheless is still likely adequate to meet EPA and DHA needs when ALA is present in high enough amounts like with flaxseed oil. Just as an example, if a table spoon of flaxseed oil has about 7 grams of ALA (7000mg) and if the conversion rate to EPA is even 10% that's 700mg of EPA which is quite good, 5% would be 350mg EPA, still pretty good. A 2005 review by Burge and Calder published in the journal "Reprod Nutr Dev" reported conversion of ALA to EPA as high as 8% while DHA was admittedly a bit less, as high as 4% when using stable isotopes to see conversion rate (table 4 of the paper). Going to need some citations to empirical data showing a meaningful increase in metabolic rate and objectively measured body heat in cold climate following the claim of Omega 3 being a "warming oil". Likewise a citation for the claim that tropical oils slow metabolism would be very much appreciated. Biochemistry is great, but when it comes to outcomes (like those mentioned above) we need data in people. If you can provide citations for the above claims I'd appreciate it. Looking forward to seeing the studies you provide for the above claims! Thanks for the continued correspondence.
