Margaret and Gary
I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving celebrations.
Let me make a few comments on the Omega-3.

Cold water fish oils are loaded with Omega-3 Polyunsaturated fatty acids, eicosapenataenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Omega-3 lowers cholesterol (VLDL), triglycerides, and total choesterol levels in the blood, and also increases the level of HDL, the so-called good cholesterol.

Eskimo diet has loads of Omega-3 oils. It is very rare to see the Eskmos having a heart attack. More commonly, Eskimos are known to get bleeding in the brain. The reason is as follows:
Omega-3 works as double-edged sword. It intereferes with platelet aggregation. , thus prevents clotting in the coronary vessels. The same interference with platelet function makes the person easily susceptible for intracranial bleeds. Remember that Fish oils have Vitamin E. Vitamin E is also known to interefere with platelet aggregation and thus clotting
A note of caution : Some of the fish oils also contain, in addition to Omega oils, cholesterol, & saturated fat. Make sure to read the label and you get what you want.
If one is taking aspirin and or anticoagulants , increased bleeding may occur with the use of Omega oils.

OTOT: I don't know, but Paul Orr Jones I believe thinks mono is better, and he sounds pretty well-informed. I certainly can't cite specific papers. But as I wrote previously, Canola oil is about 25% the cost of olive oil, which is not insignificant when one is trying to save as much money as possible to buy more Intel!

>Years ago I had always heard that poly were better than mono, but then they started saying that mono was
better. Has something recently changed that they are now back to poly being better. How recent is your
information on this?

Hello Margaret: I am relieved to see that Intel managed to overcome its weakness of last week, finally decided to get back in sync with Wintel and follow MSFT's lead. Sometimes that happens, one is strong when the other is weak and vice versa.

We have a potential breakaway gap in INTC this am at 78.

This will become a key level to hold in the future, but for now we are moving strongly norhtwards away from it, a very good sign.

Overall market sure turned out to be quite a stampede. Dow is doing one of its favorite come from behind upward breakouts.

Things could get quite explosive from here beyond 8k with even a touch of panic buying mania...see my earlier am post to Sonki for explanation.

I see BMC has rallied a little off quite a good bottom formation that it put in after the big drop. One thing that I would consider a potential positive was the huge volume that was traded in the ensuing days and so far it has rallied as a consequence. Right now we are near the post drop highs so we will need to see how the stock behaves from here.

What is your op on sunflower oil .. seems from that chart that Paul posted that Sunfower Oil has more positives combined than the others. What do you think. Also, what dosage is your hub taking of the CL Oil. Is it an emulsion or straight and pure. Mine is emulsion mfd by Smith Kline Beecham and contains Retinol and Colecalciferol (Vit A & D). I used to take it as a kid but seems it lost popularity. Based on your observations it could become a staple once again.

Did you read my post to Paul this am. I had a lot of questions for him as he appears very astute in the realm of nutrition.
