CORNERING HEALTH

Omega 3 -Foods -Toxins
A type of blindness, known as RETINOPATHY OF PREMATURITY, which is seen in premature infant births,
appears to be helped through the consumption of Omega 3.
(Nature Medicine)....This condition manifests as leaking blood
from damaged and abnormal retinal blood vessels.
According to the research done, this fish oil cut in half the
incidences, in lab studies, of this disease. More of the essential fatty acids, especially Omega 3 should be used regularly, for our health and especially the health of our children.
Foods high in Flavonals and consummed often, have been linked to reduced rates of pancreatic cancer. But, what will be
the strength of these phyto-nutrients and compounds, so necessary for our health; when in the future, as our already distressed soil, becomes more dependent on artifical fertilizers,
we find ourselves consuming, nutritionally depleted foods?
Already, changes have been seen in the soil. An 85% micronutrient depletion was previously recorded in 1992.
What about accompanying toxins leaching into ground water, our food supply, air and ourselves? In a study in 2004, 287 dangerous chemicals were found in the umbilical cord blood of newborns. In a situation such as this, it becomes even more important to augment our nutrient shortfalls with supplements, whether vitamins/or herbs and to give our families more organic foods, to protect theirs and our own health.
