Omega 3

It's here, finally! I ordered this book, "Omega 3" by Dr. Cosmos Ho while I was in Newfoundland over Christmas. A friend of the family, who is a retired RCMP officer, came to the in-laws for a visit and he was such an interesting man. He has been doing research on the history of the RCMP in Newfoundland and has dedicated years and years of his life doing so. He is in the process of writing a book on the topic and lectures at MUN.

During his visit, we started talking about health and of course, being in Newfoundland, cod liver oil was the big one and how many newfoundlanders still live by the benefits of taking it. He then said that Dr. Cosmos Ho, who I assume he knows through the University, has done research on the benefits of "seal oil" as compared to cod liver oil (and all sorts of other healthy oils) and the research shows that the seal oil has by far many more benefits to mammals than cod liver oil. And the issue about this is that"seal oil" makes it more controversial to the public and that's why it's called "Omega 3." He suggested that I buy the book that Dr. Ho has written because it was really interesting. So I got online and ordered it from Chapters for a big break the bank $12 including shipping and it was on back order and I have finally just received it.

So here's another book to add to my list, and of course I'll post anything I find interesting about it.
