Excerpts from Amazon.com's Editorial Reviews of the Omega-3 Connection: "Stoll suggests that restoring our body's natural balance of omega-3s may help alleviate (and prevent) many types of depression--even for those who don't respond to traditional antidepressants. Omega-3s may also establish helpful with other problems, such as the inability to cover stress, memory loss, and cognitive descent. A must-read for anyone dealing with depression, The Omega-3 Connection by Andrew L. Stoll, M.D., strikes yet another blow against the measure American diet. We already know that years of noshing on highly processed foods have saddled us with sky-high rates of kernel disease, obesity, and related conditions. But, as we're starting to infer now, our eating habits may also be subtly altering our encephalon chemistry, leaving us vulnerable to anxiety disorders and depression. Only in this case, it's not just what we're eating--it's what we're not eating: foods containing omega-3 necessary fatty acids--the 'upright fats' that help observe optimal encephalon function. Stoll found that Omega-3 acids, already known for their importance in preventing kernel disease and cancer, fun a crucial role in mental health -- regulating and enhancing mood, sharpening memory, and even aiding concentration and learning. This substance, so necessary to our health is often depleted by our Western diet and lifestyle.
