Good review of how critical DHA is for our brains. Given the newer evidence, that E4s uptake less, seems even more important to ensure we have an adequate supply...

But I do take astaxanthin (correct spelling/word) with my EPA (which, as indicated, I'm probably going to bag soon, or more radically limit; instead: 1) a bit of fish, and, mostly, plant-omega 3! epidem. evid. points strongly in that direction (actually, one could probably bag the fish entirely -- ...

Still enjoying it; but reading it in quick bits here and there. One disappointment for me was the failure to discuss frozen broccoli. Living in the North, it's hard to always find it uber-fresh. I usually see a few yellow blooms. I've found a great frozen variety, from Birdseye- all baby florets. Yu...

Quick housekeeping question; should this be merged with our "fish oil" thread under the supplement category? It's always nice to have all info in one place. Also, I'd still love to hear anyone's opinion on whether or not Algae DHA is just as susceptible to oxidation as that derived from fi...

Same here, Silver!

Another one re. distribution of apoE4-

I wish I could point you to a specific study that connects the dots...but I don't know of one. Here's a starting place, to help find the E4s http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/store/10.1046/j.1469-1809.1999.6340301.x/asset/j.1469-1809.1999.6340301.x.pdf;jsessionid=CFA584C9A5522A1810ACA9C5A9B8D495.f02t03...

Nice list, Circ. I'd like to learn more about Dr. Isaacson's diet recommendations. Post more in the nutrition section when you get a chance-thanks!

Interesting observation, Circ. IF primate's 4/4 acts like a 3/3; could it be because their diet/lifestyle never evolved like human's did? To explain, humans originated with the 4/4 genotype. There is evidence that the E3 and E2 mutations were evolutionary reactions to moving from a hunter/gatherer l...

NICE, Skibike- protects the patient & the staff. I wish I could do it over again...the right way this time. Hopefully, your experience will help others.

Congrats on saying a final bye-bye to the toxins Hope you're feeling OK.
