Did you know that omega 3 prevent diabetic retinopathy? And by the way, did
you know it's not just diabetic? By the time somebody gets a diagnosis of
diabetes, a third already have diabetic eye disease.
Here's an article that talks about it. It came from the PREDIMED
study. It's a study that was done in... a popular study that was done in Italy on
prevention. What they did was a longitudinal study, looking for.. looking
for retinopathy and retinopathy to the extent that it was needed to have
treatment. So this is not just mild vision loss. This is the ophthalmologist
had to go in and do some treatment on the eye. In late 2015, as part of the
PREDIMED study, they conceived a prospective study within the randomized
clinical trial Prevencion Con Dieta Mediterranea. In other words, the PREDIMED
study, there were 3,614 individuals aged 55 to 80. These were individuals
that already had type 2 diabetes. Full data were available, 48% of them. Here's
the thing that whether... here's what kind of therapy were they requiring.
Anti-angiogenic therapy. In other words, going in and and shooting the back of
the eyeball to stop bleeding, to stop growth of blood vessels into the retina.
Again, this is instrumentation to the eye. What they found was a 48% relatively
relative reduced risk 48 percent reduce risk of incident sight-threatening
diabetic retinopathy. Get that again. It cut the risk enhance with omega 3s and
what were they taking 500 milligrams of dietary
omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids to weekly servings of an oily fish. Part of
the question is do I usually get this question to our supplement? Actually, I do
supplement, and I eat oily fish more than twice a week so I get a ton of omega
3s. And by the way, just another reminder, are you thinking that, "Well, you
know, this is that was in diabetics. I don't need to worry about it." Number one:
by the time people get a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, 1/3 already have damage
to the eye. And guess what number 2? What portion of people that have insulin
resistance do you think actually know it? 10% probably, not even better.
So be afraid, be very afraid, get checked, make sure that you don't
have insulin resistance. Thank you very much for your interest.
So I'm very excited to announce we now have a membership page. Now, what is that?
That's the one place where you can go and access all of our digital products.
It starts off with a few free things, like a lot of infographics which help
you understand the basics of insulin resistance, cardiovascular inflammation,
and other key concepts on how to prevent heart attack and stroke. The next free
item is the intro and first chapter of the book that we're writing on plaque and
the standards of medicine just aren't doing very well right now in terms of
the number one killer and disabler - plaque. We don't do a good job of
measuring it, we don't do a good job of monitoring it, and there are better ways.
So that's what this book is all about. Again, go in, and get a free look at the
intro and the first chapter. And if you've purchased the cardiovascular
inflammation and IR courses, thank you so much for doing that. You purchased those
at a time before we had them totally cleaned up. And we've cleaned them up now
and they're available for you right there on the membership page. Hit the
link below, register and go in, and take a look. Look forward to seeing you there.
Thank you.
