Something Fishy!

A 1970 study which claimed to show the Inuit had very low rates of heart disease and stroke and attributed this to fish-oil consumption has been shown to be "deeply flawed". A new study shows that the Inuit have similar rates of heart disease and higher rates of stroke compared to other cultures.

About hungdrawnandcultured

I am a "semi-retired" professional cellist, born in England, but living in BC for the past 45 years. I have a passion for drawing and will endeavour to use the medium of pen-and-ink to comment each day on anything current, cultural or comical that catches my attention.
