Reply #15: Well... let's look at it in another way.... perhaps you can tell me

[HysteryDiagnosis]

what the rate of depression in Japan is.... or in other eastern nations that consume tons of foods rich in omega three fats.... then we can decide whether people have prozac deficiencies or perhaps an essential fatty acid deficiency. I don't consider fish to be a psychoactive drug.... and yes, I take it every day.

I need fish... so I'll take prozac. I don't get the logic.

>>Indeed, in countries where folks eat lots of fish, like Taiwan and Japan, the depression rate runs 10 times lower than in North America. And when cholesterol and fat were lowered in one study by replacing animal fat with fish, depression improved rather than worsened. But in most cholesterol studies, people replace animal fats with corn oil, which the body cannot convert to DHA.<<
