\"\"<\/a>A while back, health authorities told us not to eat salmon … too many oils, you know. Rather than “risk it”, you should take Omega3 fatty acid pills. Remember when we weren’t supposed to eat fatty nuts, like walnuts?<\/p>\n

Although terrific in someone’s little theory about how the body should work in principle, researchers are now finding results that pull conclusions back in line with common sense.<\/p>\n
