It is a scientific fact that Omega-3
fatty acids found in fish oils (especially salmon) plays a significant
role in the reduction of heart disease. There is also strong scientific
data suggesting that the consumption of fish and fish
oils prevent a host of other diseases, including but not limited
to Cancer, Diabetes, Arthritis, Asthma, Migraine
Headaches, Ulcers, Multiple Sclerosis, Psoriasis, Hyperactive Thyroid
and Lupus.
 These findings are supported by studies between Inuits and Danes
with the same genetic background - but with vastly different eating
habits. Although both Inuits and Danes get 40% of their calories
from fat - the Inuits' calories come from fish oil and the Danes'
calories come from animal fats.
 In one Inuit settlement of 1300 people, the death rate from heart
disease was 3.5% compared to a 50% rate in most of the West.
 The omega position in unsaturated fats, has significant effect
on the freezing characteristics. Generally, omega-3 oils freeze
at a much lower termperature than other oils giving the oils containing
these acids different characteristics.
