February 22nd, 2014 - Dynamic nutrition expert and educator, Stuart Tomc, from Nordic Naturals discussed the role of fats (good and bad) in heart disease. He demystified some recent research on omega-3 fats and offered this educational resource and a study on omega 3 for headaches. We reviewed a study showing that those with the highest blood levels of omega-3 had an 81% reduced risk of sudden death compared to the group with the lowest levels! I also talked with board-certified cardiologist, Thomas E. Levy, MD the author of Death by Calcium. He offered scientific proof that the US's nearly obsessive intake of dairy products and calcium supplementation is not the best answer to osteoporosis as is so widely believed. Even more shockingly, calcium excess apparently promotes heart disease (plus other chronic degenerative diseases) and significantly shortens life. Note, I'm not worried about a small amount of calcium in a multi-vitamin and caution that his advice does not apply to everyone.
