Omega-3 and Heart Health

It was 1970. Jorn Dyerberg, Hans Olaf Bang and Aase Brondum Nielsen arrived in Greenland knowing that very few Greenlanders had poor heart health. It didn't make sense. After all, Greenland Inuits ate a poor diet with insufficient fruits and vegetables. And they ate a lot of fat.
 
When they tested the blood samples of 130 Inuit, everything was normal. Except for one thing. They found very high levels of "polyunsaturated fatty acids, EPA and DHA." EPA and DHA are Omega-3 found in fish. They concluded that the healthy hearts could be from the Omega-3 fats that the Inuit ate in abundance.*

The science of Omega-3 was born.

Today, Dr. Jorn Dyerberg is considered the "father" of Omega-3. "I have done some computing," said Dr. Dyerberg in a recent interview with the online nutrition blog, Nutra Ingredients, "and since we published the first paper in 1971 there are now some 14,000 published papers on Omega-3, including close to 8,000 human studies." "The most pressing issue for the 21st Century is nutrition problems linked to diet. In that aspect, omega-3 will play a major role," said Dr. Dyerberg.

14,000 studies and Counting
