Guest guest Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Omega-3 may reduce risk of dental disease: Study By ls, 28-Jan-2010 Related topics: Omega-3, Research, Nutritional lipids and oils, Bone & joint health Increased levels of omega-3 fatty acid DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) may decrease the risk of dental diseases, suggests a new study from Japan. The average number of dental disease events was 1.5 times higher in people with low DHA levels, compared to those with the highest average levels of DHA, according to findings published in Nutrition. In addition to being a major risk factor for tooth loss, periodontal disease has also been implicated as a risk factor for chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD). Since the condition may contribute to the overall inflammatory burden of an individual there are reports that this may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. The heart health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids are well-documented, being first reported in the early 1970s by Jorn Dyerberg and his co-workers in The Lancet and The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. To date, the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been linked to improvements in blood lipid levels, a reduced tendency of thrombosis, blood pressure and heart rate improvements, and improved vascular function. However, links to dental health are not well documented. " To our knowledge, this is the first longitudinal study of the relation between periodontal conditions and dietary omega-3 fatty acids intake in older people, " wrote the researchers, led by Masanori Iwasaki from Niigata University. Study details The Japanese researchers recruited 55 people with an average age of 74 and calculated dietary intakes of omega-3. The average dietary intakes of EPA and DHA were 947.1 and 635.2 milligrams, respectively, said the researchers. " The findings suggest there may be an inverse, independent relation of dietary DHA intake to the progression of periodontal disease in older people, " they said. Biologically plausible? Commenting on the potential mechanism, the researchers note that it is probably related the anti-inflammatory effects of omega-3 fatty acids. " In periodontal diseases, bacteria trigger inflammatory host responses that cause destruction of the alveolar bone and periodontal connective tissue, " explained the researchers. " According to previous reports, DHA and EPA inhibit arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism to inflammatory eicosanoids. They also give rise to mediators that are less inflammatory than those produced from AA or that are anti-inflammatory, " they added.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Tina: Vicki gave you a link to a good product. I just wanted to add a couple details. What you are looking for is EMULSIFIED omega oils. The oil being emulsified is what makes it more suitable (absorb-able). Basically the oil has been Whipped up with something..breaking the oil molecules into smaller pieces with more surfaces for our bodies to GRAB it....ta-dah...water miscible. Having said that...we DO absorb the oils in the gel-caps. We just don't absorb all of it..because we mal-absorb fats. The further out from surgery we are...and as individuals...we will get a different BANG for our bucks with the gel caps. So...the gels aren't worthless...but they also aren't as effective. Cod liver oil has been a miracle cure for many thing in our grandparents day. Everything from colds, arthritis, ricket, gout.....feeling poorly. Guess what...our grandparents kinda got it right. Did you know Cod liver oil has vitamin D, Vitamin A and Some Vitamin K in it.... On your labs...you want to look at your HDL levels. You NEED to be over 40...you SHOULD be over 50...BEST to be over 60 especially if you are a woman. Ways to increase your HDL. Eat Healthy fats...cod liver oils, fish oils, fatty fish like salmon and mackrel, avacodos, walnuts, canola oil, olive oil, peanut butter.... Aerobic exercise. Stop smoking. Cut out the trans fatty acids. Trans fatty acids are currently present in many of your favorite prepared foods -- anything in which the nutrition label reads "partially hydrogenated vegetable oils" -- Alcohol. With apologies to the American Heart Association, which discourages doctors from telling their patients about the advantages of alcohol: one or two drinks per day can significantly increase HDL levels. (I'm not a drinker...but...If you are, I would suggest 1 (read ONE) glass of red wine would fit nicely in this catagory). Not a Drinker? Try Cranberry juice! Grape Juice, Orange juice. (which basically reinforces eat veggies and fruit. Add soluble fiber to your diet. Soluble fibers are found in oats, fruits, vegetables, and legumes, and result in both a reduction in LDL cholesterol and an increase HDL cholesterol. For best results, at least two servings a day should be used. Add The B vitamin niacin (not too much or you will start to "flush" >> I have been wondering, what kind of Omega oils can we take? All I see is gel pills. We can't take gel pills right?

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Thanks that really helps. I used to take fish oil pills, because it actually can help you to stop loss from arthritis. I think because of lubricating the joints. It helped with my pain immemsely, and even though I weighed 280, I never had high cholesterol. I totally believe it was due to the mega doses of fish oils. If you have arthritis, then look up some studies, and I bet they are still out there supporting my info. I am not feeling well today, or I would try.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Ahhhh...the million dollar question!!! The answer will be different for each of us. Using the emulsified oils is the BEST option. It give us the oils in the most absorbable form. But we do absorb some oils in their natural form. How much...becomes the question.
