I've been discussing omega-3 fats on here more recently, so I wanted to put together a short collection of larger meta-studies on some of their various health benefits

I tried to pick a variety of studies, with as much data in each one as possible, I may add more over time
Omega-3 fats seem to have the most benefits when it comes to reducing chronic inflammation, many mental illnesses like depression, ADHD, and schizophrenia, promoting gut/microbiome health, and preventing neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimers and dementia
Interestingly, evidence for improvement with cardiovascular disease is more variable than many other issues, though there are many promising studies

The majority of studies with omega-3 fats and cancer seem to generally show benefit, but this also varies in a few studies
Keep in mind that the majority of these studies are done with fish oils rather than whole seafood

Personally I believe that with this taken into account we will likely see much more benefit to health issues using whole seafood as it's PUFA are less likely to be oxidized

JUST ONE PERSON—UK 🇬🇧 scientists think one immunocompromised person who cleared virus slowly & only partially wiped out an infection, leaving behind genetically-hardier viruses that rebound & learn how to survive better. That’s likely how #B117 started. 🧵 https://t.co/bMMjM8Hiuz


2) The leading hypothesis is that the new variant evolved within just one person, chronically infected with the virus for so long it was able to evolve into a new, more infectious form.

same thing happened in Boston in another immunocompromised person that was sick for 155 days.

3) What happened in Boston with one 45 year old man who was highly infectious for 155 days straight before he died... is exactly what scientists think happened in Kent, England that gave rise to #B117.


4) Doctors were shocked to find virus has evolved many different forms inside of this one immunocompromised man. 20 new mutations in one virus, akin to the #B117. This is possibly how #B1351 in South Africa 🇿🇦 and #P1 in Brazil 🇧🇷 also evolved.


5) “On its own, the appearance of a new variant in genomic databases doesn’t tell us much. “That’s just one genome amongst thousands every week. It wouldn’t necessarily stick out,” says Oliver Pybus, a professor of evolution and infectious disease at Oxford.
