Lamb are mainly slaughtered at autumn over here, and thus hs rather high omega-3 to omega-6 ratio, (or low omega-6 to omega-3 ratio) At Iceland where sheep always, more or less, are range feed (grazing in mountains all days during year), they have one of the lowest mortality rates from CVD, even having genes common with Norwegians and other Northern Scandinavians, which has amongst the highest incidents of these diseases. (but also high intake of meat from farmed animals, except sheep nd lambs in autumn because they are fed in mountain during spring/summer/autumn season. Rheumatic people seldom complains about pain after eating lamb in autumn, while eating spring slaughtered animals give them pain and eating pork meat always give pain. (Pigs are mostly fed omega-6 rich diet) Has all this conjecture (?) been subject to test with double blind placebo controlled studies? Who would it pay to do the studies? I note peer-reviewed journals are going to start pointing out to readers when authors fail to declare their research-funding sources. A lot of biotech studies and reviewers have failed to note their funding connections to biotech industry, against the agreed convention. Studies on omega-6 - arachidonic acid - inflammation, if proved positive, might benefit persons who were hoping to be paying less for medical treatment. So it looks as if any researchers interested would have to compete for funds of the type which are not govt-money-in-partnership-with-business. The current approach is to encourage partnership with business, so non-partnership research-money is rather hard to get. As I said to Jim the connection of omega-6 to arachidonic to inflammation is a bit obvious, like rain to being wet. We don't do a study on it because it is rather obvious when money is short? Or is it that business has investment in the health system, too, and guides it away from such studies, since it would remove a lot of profit? |
