Historical Use Of Fish oils
Fish oils have a long history of consumption most notably among people living in coastal areas such as the fishing communities of Scotland, Iceland, Norway and Greenland. They were widely consumed as a constituent of their high sea food diet but also as oils in their own right such as cod liver oil. It was the observation that Greenland Inuits had good heart health, in spite of their high fat diet of blubber and oily fish that brought the benefits of Omega-3 rich fish oils to the wider awareness of scientists.
Since that association was made in the 70's a large number of
scientific studies worldwide have highlighted the multiple benefits of dietary
Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil, in areas as diverse as heart,
brain, joint and eye health. In fact, it
seems that these fatty acids are important in almost every aspect of health.
