GLA has been studied for benefits in diabetes, certain dry-eye diseases, brittle bone disease or osteoporosis, menopausal symptoms, PMS, skin disease such as eczema, Allergies, arthritis, ADD/ADHD, Alcoholism, cancer, weight loss, high blood pressure and Heart disease. In many of these studies, adults -- male and female took GLA and there were no difficulties associated with its use. Based on the condition, 480 mg - 3,000 to 4,000 mg of GLA has been recommended but well tolerated levels go up to 2,800 mg. It has been suggested for use among nursing infants as well.

If you have 3 radioactive cookies alpha beta and gamma what will you eat placed in your packet and hold it by your hand?

You eat the gamma cookie, put the beta cookie in your pocket, and hold the alpha cookie in your hand. Here's why:Your skin will stop the alpha radiation, so it's safe to hold that cookie in your hand.Your clothes will stop the beta, so it's safe to put that in your pocket.And if you're going to have to eat one, you may as well eat the gamma cookie because gamma radiation is so penetrating that you'll get the same does whether you hold it in your hand, put it in your pocket or eat it.you've sort of missed the point with this one. your right in saying that the alpha wont penetrate the skin, the beta your clothes, and the gamma will penetrate basically everything but its less that you you'd rather eat the gamma cookie because you will get dosed no matter what and more that you do not want to eat the alpha cookie. you see the same reason alpha particles dont penetrate the skin is the same reason they're extremely detrimental when ingested - far more so than gamma. its called specific ionization specific-ionization.


What is best source of omega 3 for vegans?

There are three important omega-3 fatty acids:Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is a short-chain (18-carbon) omega-3 fatty acid, which is found in many vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, and fruits. There are relatively large amounts in soy, walnuts, flax seeds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, mustard seeds, and chia seeds. Brazil nuts and wheat germ also contain significant amounts. It's also found in green leafy vegetables, grains, and spirulina. Your body cannot make its own ALA, so you need to eat some of these foods each day. Your body can convert ALA to EPA (eiocosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is a long-chain (20-carbon) omega-3 fatty acid, which is found in very small amounts in microalgae, leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, and walnuts. Your body can produce EPA out of ALA and out of DHA.Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a long-chain (22-carbon) omega-3 fatty acid, which is found in very small amounts in spirulina, leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, and walnuts. Your body can convert EPA into DHA; however, a high intake of linoleic acid may suppress your body's ability to convert alpha-linolenic acid to DHA. Avoid refined oils, especially sunflower, safflower, and corn oil, and use tiny amounts of oils containing alpha-linolenic acid such as soy and walnut oils, which will assist your body in making more DHA.

Yes.Flax seed is a source of GLA. GLA is also know as gamma-linolenic acid and is considered a healthy Omega-6 Fatty Acid. GLA serves as a building block for prostaglandins, a group of hormone-like substances that regulate many crucial functions of the body. Adequate levels of GLA has important health benefits.Supplementing with GLA helps to offset the consumption of unhealthy Omega-6 Fatty Acids which are prevalent in the typical American diet.Fish oil capsules provide Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids inhibit the inflammatory response. It is because they inhibit the inflammatory response that they are healthy fats to consume. Inflammation is the key process causing many of the chronic, degenerative diseases that afflict Western cultures.
