Do vegans and vegetarians require a DHA supplement?: Dr Tim Radak 

Just what I needed....some clarity on this subject. So much debate lately amongst the vegan community. You have presented the subject with scientific vigour. A must view for health conscious vegetarians and vegans. Thank you

I am very grateful for the information in this presentation and the information from Jeff Nelson recently on the DHA topic. It is amazing how much some people are basing their conclusions on pure guess and speculation. I think its time for 100% Plant Based eaters to put this issue to bed.

Vegan since October 2018, and feel healthier and more moral snd responsible because of animal abuse and environmental impact. I eat WFPB and based it on dr. Greger's daily dozen. And I eat some ground flax seeds every day.

Extremely informative with highly intelligent presenter. He does leave syllables out of words which is a little confusing. But I am so grateful for this information.

At last I have a quality presentation discussing the current science on DHA and supplementation. I will send this link to all of my clients at Halifax Health Coach. Certainly worth researching this subject matter closely. Big thanks to Dr Tim Radak.

Thank you for your wonderful presentation! As an RN, nutrition studies are confusing...I greatly appreciate the docs that are taking the time to present the mountain of information in a fair and just manner!

Sheesh- no multi tasking while watching this! One of the most thoroughly researched presentations I have seen [and I've seen a LOT] Thanks for posting!!

Very knowledgeable, no false bs claims, all the statements are supported by studies. Great talk!

Really happy to be hearing more plant based experts talking about science and intelligent design!

Thank you for taking the time to research this and for sharing your findings in this excellent presentation. This subject has been on my mind for a long time and I finally think I can now lay it to rest. Once again the adequacy and superiority of the WFPB diet is supported.

Had this on my mind a long time, thank you!

Very interesting presentation. I think I've been so influenced by the "vegan diets are deficient" argument that I feel compelled to take a bunch of pills for imaginary deficiencies. Pretty well established that I just need B12 and a balanced WFPB diet.

Can someone give a short answer to the question? thanks in advance!

Answer is NO

Thank you for a clear presentation, which gave answers to all the questions that I have had about LC-omega3s.

indeed. I wish that Jeff Nelson and Dr. T. Colin Campbell etc. would invite those with opposing views on their site, e.g. Dr. Greger etc. so that they can really have it out together, in public. Is that not what science and truth is all about????

Where is he lecturing ? & who is he lecturing to ? We need more lectures like this.

What about the increased risk of prostate cancer that has also been linked with consuming supplemental DHA?

Brilliant talk 👍.

I remember reading a study where, I believe, 29 bypass candidates chose this study instead of bypass. There were arterial photos and after maybe 6 months 28 of the 29 had their arteries cleaned out by keeping their omega 3 to 6 ratio 1 to 4 with the hep of 2 tablespoons of ground flax per day. I admit this is all from memory and I wish I could find this again. I think it was a Dr Greger video that mentioned it but still cannot find it. The end study arterial photos showed dramatic improvement. Since this I refrigerate the bag of ground flax and try to incorporate it as much as can be remembered.

great videos mate

Thanks for this. I currently take perhaps 2 x 250mg DHA each week (as a hedge). But I guess I'll be rethinking it.

Is this the most comprehensive research review of DHA supplementation on health? If so, then it seems to me that DHA oil is not necessary.

Great talk! Very informative.

Flax seeds for omega 3. Body will make its own. We get too much omega 6 which cause inflammation.

Great talk, especially talking about benefits of omega 6s. Omega 6 is yang, omega 3 is yin. You need both yin and yang. Still dr fuhrman looks at vegans for decades in his practice. Studies are too short. I trust dr fuhrman because he has been with vegans his whole life and looks at their whole lifespan. Studies are not replacements for decades" long clinical observations

The low down on reasons for being vegan: There is a free 2 hour award winning movie DominionMovement.com about animal suffering and cruelty for taste. I became vegan overnight in December 2018 after watching it. All a vegan diet additionally requires is B12 found in fortified Soy and Almond milk. Protein requirements are exaggerated and a whole foods plant based diet has enough. I have been vegan for 18 months now with no problems. I am able to work 12 hours a day 7 days per week for a month as a Senior Software Engineer, with no problems. Patrik baboumian - world record holder for 560kg yoke-walk - proving vegans can be strong and develop muscle.

Carl Lewis - 9 gold medals, athletic sprints etc, - proving vegans are fast. Nate Diaz - UFC champ, proving vegans can fight! 1kg beef requires 15,500 litres of water. 1kg of potatoes requires 250 litres of water (1.6% of beef). 1kg of tomatoes requires 180 litres of water.1 hamburger uses the same amount of water as showering for 2 weeks. 1 litre of cow milk requires 200 litres of water.

Animal methane is 24 times worse than CO2 as a greenhouse gas. Doctors For Nutrition (DoctorsForNutrition.org) state a Whole Food Plants Based Diet (WFPBD) over 3 months with 1 hour of exercise per day will cure 85% of diseases.

Here's an another great talk on this, it was galvanized by recent criticisms made by a RU-vidr but if you look past that there's some great information in there: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qS1Pp4pxvU8.html

It's sad this information been around so long for proper human diet(vegan) and not taught as truth worldwide.

6:12 "eventually you get to die homo" lmao

My parents both have heart disease, and my mother also has Alzheimer's. One of the most important problems with heart disease and Alzheimer's is lack of prostacyclin, which is made from arachidonic acid, and people with these problems are low in arachidonic acid. So, once when my mother's heart was beating irregularly, and once when her blood pressure had shot up to 250, she took an arachidonic acid supplement. In the first case, her heart beat steadily again in 15 minutes, and, in the second case, her blood pressure came down to her normal in less than an hour. My dad was completely out of breath, could not do anything but lie on the couch. This had gone on for a week. So, he took an arachidonic acid supplement, and the next morning he was his old self. Arachidonic acid is only in animal foods, mainly liver, bacon fat, chicken fat, and butter, all ancestral foods. Multiple studies have proved that lab rats make adequate arachidonic acid out of linoleic acid, but that's not too surprising, since small rodents, and birds, are the seed-eaters of the animal kingdom. But these studies have no bearing on the needs of humans. The human brain uses four times as much arachidonic acid as DHA, so, whatever you do, don't take fish oil (as Dr. Radak rightly cautioned), unless you take arachidonic acid at the same time.

Is the full video available? I see that a lot of the content is getting skipped :-(

My entire extended family ate a lot of meat including preserved meats.. Salami prosciutto etc... They all lived into early nineties.. Zero alzheimers... There must be a big genetic component. Or early life experience. Grew up during the depression. Probably did not eat a lot of meat or certainly not much junk food... Just sayin

From someone that has weight issues?

42:00, you point out that religion has no place in science, good for you. Beacause science has been developed inspite of 'to search for the heavens' (and the undertaking was unsuccesfull). But science outgrew religion. And despite of the realism of science, religion still exists.

oh look neofilm.. an UNBIASED review on dha studies from someone who isn't selling supplements hmmm

This guy is plain lying and misrepresenting the scientific literature.
