- Dive deep into the world of omega-3 conversion with Geoff Palmer in this enlightening video. Geoff tackles pressing questions on omega supplementation and demystifies the caloric density of nuts. Highlighting a pivotal study, he breaks down the process of ALA conversion to EPA and DHA, shedding light on its low conversion rate and what it means for our health. Delve into the enzyme theory, understand the differential impacts of various omega-3s on cholesterol, and uncover the crucial role of DHA in markers for cardiovascular health and diabetes. Beyond just presenting facts, Geoff challenges prevailing misconceptions about omega-3 testing, underscoring the paramount importance of sound research in the field.

This video just set me so free from worrying about supplementation. I knew my intuition was right. The absurdity of thinking the human body was designed to need daily supplementation of fish fat 🙄 thanks for giving me the intellectual permission to follow through on what I’ve been feeling.
This is on the top 10 videos I’ve ever watched in my life.
Glad it could help!
Look into urine therpy, then you know you been lied too

*How does One SHIT on MEAT Diet????*
*WHY does NO ONE TALK about THAT!!!????????*
*Does MILK Count as MEAT?????*
*Wut about Factory CORN & SOY Fed Cows????*

*Wut About ShitTaki Mush Rooms????*
*Wut about Organic BokChoy????? Is that Poison???*
Makes a lot of sense to me. Also, we evolved in equatorial East Africa where the fish don't have much omega 3 lipids -- that's what cold-water fish need to have. All the hominids eat a lot of leaves, and leafy greens are a good source of ALA, but they do not consume pre-formed EPA and DHA.
Thank you for this amazing argument ! However it would be really useful if you'd provide the cited bibliography in the description of the video, or in a comment.
How fascinating thank you for sharing
Dr. Marbas...can you chime on on your thoughts on epa/dha supplementation for wfpb vegans? Thanks
Wow, thank you 😮. I hope this one goes viral.
Wow such a great eye opener🙌.Thank you for sharing.This video has the potential to disrupt the multi million dollar business of omega 3 supplements.
Thank you. I understand that conversion ALA into DHA is done in tissues, so measure it in the blood make no sense. But how about EPA? Do we have right measurement from the blood, from which we can conclude that conversion from ALA to EPA is sufficient?
Measuring EPA levels in the blood can provide a useful indication of the conversion efficiency from ALA, particularly when dietary conditions (such as a lower LA/ALA ratio) are optimized to enhance this conversion. However, the conversion rates are generally low, and these measurements should be viewed as part of a broader assessment of dietary and metabolic health.'
@@DrLaurieMarbas :Thank you for your kind answer. I just spotted info suggesting that the "low" conversion results are effect of measurement level of DHA (not EPA?) and in the blood stream, while DHA is the last metabolic product of conversion pathway and additionally it's not beneficial or might be a little harmful for cardiovascular system, so conversion happens at deeper level in the tissue.
From my simple minded perspective nature is correct and it's not lacking anything, so if huge part of human population in history lived without sea food - let's say Africa, Asia - than there is little probability that their organisms were lacking DHA and EPA. If that would be the case they should perish and only ppl eating sea food rich in DHA and EPA should flourish which is not the case.
Regarding the Omega 3 Index test. Apparently this test looks at the % of EPA & DHA in the fatty cells of the MEMBRANE of the red blood cells.
Since it is testing the membrane of the red blood cell does this mean this test is accurate and useful to access the whole body's level of Omega 3
Is it possible to share articles that mentioned on this video ?
I don't have them but you could search for them in pubmed
Great video.
So should vegans be taking a supplement for epa, dha, dpa or getting their omega 3s strictly from foods?
I personally take a small dose of EPA/DHA daily from algae.
Which omega 3 supplement with algae do you take ? I’m a new WFPB person appreciate suggestions
@@DrLaurieMarbas Do you mind saying what the dose is? I'm taking 500mg of DHA and 300mg of EPA (2 capsules)...thinking of perhaps just taking one a day.
Photoplanton , flax seed , chia seed, hemp seed 1 table spoon of each you can take it with tumeric help with the absorbing , also 12 walnuts also perilla seed oil, sacha inchi oil, sea berry oil, dont need fish oil@@childofeternity
@DrLaurieMarbas why are you taking a supplement for EPA/DHA if you believe ALA is converted to those in sufficient amounts in the body ?
wow thank you
You're welcome
Archidonic fat acid is deficient for vegans . Can Peanut having omega 6 will convet lA into ARA ??
8:00 he discusses arachidonic acid
I wonder what Dr Fuhrman would say to this argument etc.
Interesting. Meanwhile you have conflicting theories from other nutrition experts in the vegan community which state that cognitive decline and decreased brain volume occurs in vegans after 60 due to lack of omega 3.
It's always fascinating to see different perspectives in the nutrition world!
Wow, this was a great video. Now I don’t feel the need to buy fish oil supplements, as a broke neuro and physiology graduate lol. Ty
