Starfish Food

Two years ago research scientists at Purdue University found that Omega 3 fatty acids maybe good for bones.

In recent years Omega 3, fish oil, has been found to be essential to good health for all our human systems.

Nutritionist Bruce Watkins, of Purdue University, stated in a Newsweek Magazine report in January 2006, he has discovered Omega 3 arouses cells that build bone in the membrane that covers the long bones. It’s called the periosteum. “It’s the part that hurts when you bang your shin,” says Watkins. “I call it ‘the brain of the bone’ because it contains a lot of nerve tissue and controls a lot of bone metabolism.” Watkins says it should be fed Omega 3, because this fatty oil strengthens bone-building cells as they construct a protein matrix on which calcium and other minerals are amassed.
