Is Fish Oil Good For You? Dr Ekberg

the most important fats are DHA and EPA  and those are the two things that are in  

high quality fish oil that's why we talk so  much about everyone should take fish oil if  

you don't you start today and never stop DHA  which you only get a few hundred milligrams  

from from a good quality official is 40 percent  of the bulk of your brain consists of DHA and  

50 percent of every cell membrane that's every  cell membrane on a hundred trillion cells in  

your body is 50 percent DHA and since the sub  membrane is responsible for the signaling and  

the communication it determines what's inside  and outside the cell that's hugely important  

and the DHA and the quality of that sub memory  membrane depends largely on the quality of the  

facts making it up 60 percent of your retina is  DHA so vision also depends on it then EPA is not  

so much a building block it is a precursor but  it's a precursor for prostaglandin 3 which makes  

it a very very important anti-inflammatory  it's the body's most important natural  

anti-inflammatory it's what balances things out  in the body and what they have found which we'll  

get into in another talk is virtually all  degenerative disease is related to a chronic  

state of inflammation much due to toxicity  so the EPA here will counteract some of that
