Nutrition with Judy | Carnivore DietAbout this episode
In this episode I had the pleasure of talking with Bill and Kristina from Omegaquant. We talked about all things omega fatty acids. Some topics discussed in this episode: 1. Larger variety of Omegas in foods than in the body. 2. Are we what we eat? 3. Importance of Omega 3s 4. Importance of Marine omega 3s – fish and fish oil supplements 5. Do PUFAs in fish oils oxidize in heat and light? 6. Fish and mercury? 7. Pregnant women, and children and the importance of omega 3 (DHA/EPA)? 8. What foods do you recommend eating for omegas? 9. Omega 3s displacing Omega 6 (the balance of omega 3 and 6 in the body – homeostasis) 10. Why ratios aren’t ideal to look at Omega 3:6 11. If we ate pork, which has more PUFAs than say, beef, should we be concerned? 12. Will eating these foods cause us to gain weight or have disease? 13. What about chicken? Any difference with eating grain fed vs pasture raised chickens, in terms of omegas? 14. Concerns of high linoleic acid levels in our blood because of pork, chicken and fish? 15. Does grassfed vs grain fed animals make a difference? 16. Fearing of Omega 6 17. Signs of fatty acid or omega 3 deficiency? 18. What would be some advice for best omega levels?
