Big doses of omega-3 supplements can fight off inflammation and slow aging

INTRO: Omega-3 supplements are a booming business due to their ties to heart health and other benefits. While claims it can fight cancer, mental illness, and even COVID-19 are still up for debate, a new study finds taking omega-3 supplements may be a great way to ward off the damages of stress. Ohio State University researchers say large doses of omega-3 not only protects against stress-related inflammation, but also slows cellular aging. The study reveals daily supplements with 2.5 grams of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids boost the body’s defense against stress. Researchers note this amount is the highest dose tested and far exceeds what the average American consumes each day... (MORE)
Scientists claim that background radiation is good for you (study making the rounds yet again)

EXCERPTS: According to a new study by a team of scientists at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel, relatively high exposure to background radiation may actually lead to healthier lives. Background radiation is a type of ionizing radiation that originates from both natural and artificial sources. Natural sources include cosmic radiation from space and naturally occurring radioactive materials, while artificial sources include anything from medical X-rays to nuclear weapons testing.
As detailed in the study, published in the journal Biogerontology, the researchers examined background radiation data dating all the way back to 1960s across all 3,129 counties in the United States using the Environmental Protection Agency’s radiation dose calculator.
[...] What they found was surprising. Those who lived in areas where background radiation levels were higher, across genders, experienced significantly lower rates of lung, pancreatic, colon and rectal cancers.
[...] “Decades of scientific theory are potentially being disproven by the remarkable researchers at BGU,” Doug Seserman, CEO at the university’s American Associates, said in a statement. “These findings might even provide a sense of relief for those who reside in areas in the U.S. with higher-than-average background radiation.” (MORE - details)
