Actually, the original post is correct and yours is misinformed


You ask if a blog which tells about the benefits of omega-3s such as those found in krill oil is a joke?  Perhaps the post might be a bit of a promotion, but information about the benefits, including ridding the body of free radicals, of krill oil is no joke.

The blog linked to speaks about a study by the University of Berkley which indicated the value of omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA.  You, on the other hand, quoted a 1984 study on corn oil. I'll grant you that excesssive corn oil can be harmful (even if it were non_GMO corn oil), but corn oil and krill oil are vastly different and the study you quoted does not apply to krill oil.

The polyunsaturated fat found in corn oil consists almost entirely of omega-6 fatty acids, which our typical diet supplies too much of in realtion to omega-3 fatty acids.  Krill oil contains a high amount of healthy long-chain polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, such as EPA and DHA.  An excessive ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids (it should be about a 1 to 2 ratio) causes irritation which can lead to cancer, coronary and other chronic disease.

It is NOT low cellular levels of oxygen which causes cancer (and Warburg did not say that).  Rather, it is prolonged cellular stress due to irritation which most often leads to cells cancer when cells revert to a more primitive form of respiration.

Warburg's work has been widely misinterpreted to mean that lowered cellular oxygen causes cancer, but what Warburg actually postulated was that it was an injury to the cell's mitochondrial energy manufacturing which caused cells to turn cancerous.

Warburg in fact argued that cancer should be interpreted as a type of mitochondrial disease.  The reason for lower cellular oxygen in cancer cells is  because cancer cells stop using oxygen and turn instead to the less efficient primitive form of respiration which utilizes a non-oxidative breakdown of glucose.

In addition to krill oil protecting cell walls from free radical damage due to its abundance of healthy long-chain polyunsatured omega-3 fatty acids, krill oil does indeed help rid the body of free radicals.  It does so because of its high astaxanthin content.  Astaxanthin is one of the most potent antioxidants to be found and it is astaxanthin which gives krill their characteristic reddish-pink coloration.

I see from your posting history that you are a newcomer.  Welcome to CureZone - but please, before you chide another poster and liken their post to a "joke", perhaps do a bit of studying of your own to make sure that your opinion is better informed than in this instance.
