The True Nutrients - Omega 3 Fatty Acids

[@Talon_Fitness]

Leave your suggestions for what other nutrients you think deserve a full breakdown video here.

[@Kakaragi]

When might you cover omega-6 LINOLEIC acid PUFA? There is a lot going around about how eating too much of it is actually harmful, and communities like r/StopEatingSeedOils are dedicated towards reducing the consumption of products that have omega-6 LINOLEIC acid PUFA in them along with encouraging the posting of blogs and scientific papers that prove it’s negative affects.

[@Wiz3742]

I know it’s a supplement but you should do one on creatine!

[@tonitocinoo]

I think we really need a explained list of which carbos are best, specially since they are critical for people with Diabetes, Insulin Resistance and people on weight loss training, also considering that some people avoid high carbo food altogether due to the fear of not being able to lose weight. And there's too, the people who are actually missing on enough carbos and need them.

Humble request: I would like a breads tier list - white, rye, multi etc

[@ferengi2022]

The problem with a bread tier list is that here in the states the the bran, endosperm, and germ have all been altered to max yield; then many producers are making products for maximum upfront satisfaction, hoping to addict consumers for re-up buys. Then there's things like spraying crops down with glyphosate ridden chemicals as a desiccant if farmers are encountering wet weather before harvest. Ultimately, trying to break down the quality of bread by the type alone, sadly will not give you the full story.

I wanted to tell you that I started taking a krill oil supplement about a month ago and even my sleeping is better. Keep sharing your facts and knowledge with us.

For vegetarians it's worth noting that DHA can be found in seaweed crisps (purple laver / porphyra yezonesis sp.) Can also he found in Chlorella algae. Algae-based concentrated supplements also exist. If you don't want to go that route then you must consume a very large amount of flaxseed and walnuts.

[@specialtwice4975]

Would vitamins work too?

[@FEGTTTSDH]

Too risky avoid fish...

[@mereldejong1203]

I feel like it's not too bad with flax seeds. Correct me if I'm wrong but if you assume a 10% conversion rate and you assume the higher end of the daily recommended amount (500mg in EPA/DHA) then you would need 5000mg in ALA. As there's 23000mg of ALA per 100g in flaxseeds (230mg per gram): 5000/230=21.7g. so 21.7g of flaxseeds per day to reach the higher end of daily recommended amount. That's probably about what I add in my porridge in the morning - and that's assuming you're not also eating walnuts or Brussel sprouts. Did I make any mistakes with my calculations here? I got a bit worried that I was low on omega 3s, although I've never had any health problems

[@soaringeaglet4956]

@@mereldejong1203 Same doubt, I am having around 3.5g of Omega-3 from veg sources , my omega 6 consumption is 14g acc to cronometer. Does the ratio apply to EPA and DHA or just the total omega 3? My EPA and DHA would be 3500*0.1 = 350mg, is this fine?

[@tangerinetangerine4400]

Not true. No need for "large amounts" of flax. A tablespoon will do.

[@sirerdecnit1937]

[@littlezombie9621]

To everyone who might not know yet but is interested in supplementing, please keep in mind that fish and especially krill oil, destroy the food chain and thus ecosystem of the ocean, krill is the main source of food for whales in the Antarctic region and there isn’t enough left anymore due to commercial overfishing and krill harvesting there

[@bt_tama8853]

I've just watched most of your videos as I want to get a better understanding of the things I'm eating, and your tier lists are just giving a really nice and simple overview of everything. I like that you give so much information on each ingredient, but it would be really cool if you could be a bit more transparent on where you get your information. I often hear you say, "many studies show...". It would be awesome to link some of those studies. Or if you gained your knowledge from previous studies (maybe you've studied nutritional science or have some sort of medical background) then you could do in intro video about yourself and what makes you a trustable source. I know that's a big take and I still think your videos are great, but I think this would make the quality of your channel even better. All that aside, a cool video suggestion would be talking about microplastics in everything that is fish or seafood related.

[@bsteven885]

I agree that we need a video on potassium since it's difficult to find the right amounts without help. Also, we need info on how to moderate potassium when taking "potassium sparing" prescriptions.

[@flameone4705]

@@bsteven885 Personally I don’t believe the recommended amount is accurate. I doubt we actually need 3500mg, probably 1000 or a bit higher or lower. Even for most foods that are high in potassium, you’d need about 2000 cal’s worth of those foods to get about 3500mg, with a few notable exceptions(kale and spinach). Even then you’d need about 8 or 9 cups of kale or spinach to get the DAILY recommended amount. I’m not an expert on human nutrition at all, but the recommended daily amount of potassium is so ridiculous that I doubt anyone outside of fanatic salad eaters is reaching it consistently.

[@loganwolv3393]

A small correction - omega 6's when they get converted to Eicosanoids, these aren't all pro-inflammatory, so the omega 3 to omega 6 ratio dosen't really matter as much. The reason it may matter is that i believe there is an enzyme that converts both the ALA, and some of the omega 6's into those ecosanoids so more omega 6's may reduce the ammount of omega 3's you can convert into EPA and DHA, but if you consume straight up EPA & DHA the problem basically goes away. However the ratio still matters in the sense that we're getting too many calories from those pairings of omega 3's and omega 6's with oil and like you said very little direct EPA & DHA wich means even if we get enough omega 3's if your body has tons of those enzymes, you may still consume too many calories, so really it's about balance since it's very hard to overconsume fish, walnuts brussel sprouts, etc.
