DR. STEPHEN CUNNANE PART 1

Most of us should be getting more (Omega-3). The issues are the same health issues that have dogged us for half a century. It's a question of heart health. It's a question of cancer protection. It's a question of brain health. The development of the baby's brain has been under intense scrutiny since the 1970s. The evidence has gradually but persistently shown us that DHA, and some other Omega-3s, but particularly DHA, is obviously key to successful brain development.

It is recommended for all aspects of healthy development and adult life.

Fish and shellfish are rich in the Omega-3 fatty acid DHA and they're rich in a cluster of nutrients that we call "brain selective" nutrients which are all beneficial and work in concert to help the brain develop, and, we think, to help protect the brain as we get older.
