The inventor of omega-3

27/11/2007 - It all started with a trip to Greenland in 1970. Three Danes, a
couple of dogsleds, and several years of study later and the omega-3 was
born. Since then, awareness and understanding of marine omega-3 has
sky-rocketed.

In an exclusive interview, omega-3 pioneer Dr. Jörn Dyerberg shared his
thoughts with Stephen Daniells on the rise of the omega-3 phenomenon and
gave his inimitable insight into its future directions.

Dr. Dyerberg holds a unique place in nutritional research. As a young
doctor, curious about the Inuit's high fat diet and low incidence of heart
disease - and attracted by the opportunity to dog sled over the ice and snow
- he set off with fellow countrymen Hans Olaf Bang and Aase Brondum Nielsen
for the north-west coast of Greenland.

The young Danes sought to understand how the Greenland Eskimos, or Inuit as
they prefer to be called, could eat a high fat diet and still have one of
the lowest death rates from cardiovascular disease on the planet.

"The ratios of EPA and DHA are not important," said Dr. Dyerberg, "as they
can be interconverted."
"But consumption should include both, and a decent combination is 3:2
EPA:DHA."

Recommendations will also become broader and broader, he said, including
supplements during pregnancy and early childhood. This is because of the
benefits reported for mental development, and there are studies that show
*omega-3 supplementation can influence breast milk composition and
subsequently a child's brain,"* he said.

"My grandchildren have a lot of omega-3, and they're very smart!"
