As my husband completed his annual check-up this year, the doctor adivsed him to increase his intake of omega 3. So my ears perked up when Dr. Oz talked about the supplement [ http://www.drozfans.com/dr-ozs-advice/dr-oz-omega-3-vs-omega-6-the-big-o-know-your-omegas/].
As with all supplements, it can be challenging to judge products and make informed decisions about their use. And this is not exception. There is a great example of this in http://www.omegavia.com/dr-oz-omega3-supplements/ where a nutritionist gives a different point of view than Dr. Oz gave about omega 3.
This is what I appreciated about this summary.
First, it does not present a recommendation that is EITHER — OR… Instead, it carefully describes omega 3 options. As a result, I am left feeling better informed about how to judge products containing omega 3.
Second, it provides research summaries, including the citations to the scientific articles that support the discussion. I was able to search out some of the work and get even better informed about omega 3. This helps me be a better consumer of this supplement and gives me confidence to talk to my husband about using omega 3…
