A Celebration of DHA – Discovery, Achievement and Challenges for Global Health 40 Years on

Thursday, 27 May 2010 08:00 – 23.00: London (Opening event Wed 26th, Details,  Booking)
Overview
Starting in the early 1970s, several of the scientists presenting at this conference began producing robust experimental evidence supporting a requirement for omega-3 fatty acids for the brain. In 1978, the FAO/WHO Expert Consultation on the “Role of Dietary Fats and Oils in Human Nutrition” accepted the essentiality of the omega-3 and recommended the incorporation of long chain omega-6 and 3 fatty acids into infant milk formulae. In 1990, Milupa introduced arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acids in their milk formula for infants. Intense research over the past 20 years has lead to an explosion of commercial and clinical interest in omega-3 fatty acids and fish oils for autism, ADHD, Crohn’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Down’s syndrome, bipolar depression, heart disease, cancer, autoimmune disease, inflammatory disorders, cognition, vision, diabetes, wound healing and recovery from surgery, enhanced pregnancy outcomes and performance at school. Nevertheless, there is still a lot of confusion about these fatty acids. Several government regulatory agencies still fail to recognize that individual fatty acids in the omega-6 and omega-3 families have quite different properties and functional relevance.

Look at the stuff in the Supermarket and you will see the white FAT inside – inside mark you - the muscle (meat). That fat is thrombogenic and atherogenic.
