The Rat Race

See how important Omega-3s are to brain function as these 2 rats (one of many such pairs) compete to find the submerged platform in this Morris water maze. You won't believe your eyes!!!

I think chimpanzees would be a better test subject.

they need to test at least 50 pairs. The IQ of 2 offspring can be totally different. This test is inconclusive.

The scientists tested many pairs of siblings and they ALL came out similarly. Which diet would you want to be raised on?

Im definitely in support of OMEGA 3s, I use with my own clients, however, the best OIL for DEPRESSION, ironically, is an OMEGA 6 FAT--LECITHIN! Ideally, you combine the 2 kinda fats with LECITHIN as the foundation. Works more times than not.

testing medicine on rats has become unnessecary.
You can use artisitc human cells. Way cheaper,and helps to leave the rats alone.

Sure... it would be great if cells could replace animal testing... but science is not there yet. Cells just can't replace animals to show how a drug would get distributed throughout the body and the effects it would have on the different organs. Animals are not perfect either, but still safer than no testing at all.

I agree totally agree with you. Also, I still want to see this test done in humans too. Rats are rats and humans are humans, they are NOT the same.

There's a large number of biological and chemical similarities between rats and humans. Metabolism of fatty acids is one of them. There are also plenty of studies done with humans. Did you even watch the video? They mentioned the study with human infant IQs. There's also studies done linking low Omega-3 ratios with depression, inflammatory disease, and low muscle mass. The nice thing about rats is that you can control experimental variables more precisely since they have much smaller life spans.
