The Omega Zone Diet and Fish OilWritten by Iulia Pascanu
Continued from page 1 Dr. Sears warns us to pay attention to what we buy. This is pharmaceutical fish oil preliminarily tested by International Fish Oil Standards program (IFOS). The AHA's lab studies certified that all brands of pharmaceutical fish oil, even cheapest, were free from toxins, at moment of testing. But some of them did not meet doses advertised on label. Dr. Sears prescribes fish oil capsules for healthy people. The AHA does not. Dr. Sears claims that his fish oil supplements, Omega RX ZoneTM, will prevent and help cure heart and brain diseases. THey will also maintain healthy kidneys, immune system, joint movement, maintain cholesterol safe levels, stamina, strength, mood and general well-being. The American Food and Drug Administration did not evaluate any of these statements; State of health | Omega Zone recommendations | AHA recommendations | No documented coronary heart disease (CHD) | Two point four grams of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (four Omega RX Zone capsules/ day) | Have two servings of fatty fish per week. Diet must also contain alpha linoleic acid from flaxseed, canola and soybean oils; flaxseed and walnuts. | Documented coronary heart disease (CHD) | Five to 10 grams pharmaceutical fish oil/ day | One gram of EPA+DHA per day, preferably from fatty fish. Supplements must be taken only under medical supervision. | High level triglicerides | 10 to 15 grams pharmaceutical fish oil/ day | Two to four grams of EPA+DHA per day, provided as capsules under a physician’s supervision. |

| | The Miraculous Claims of the Zone DietWritten by Iulia Pascanu
Continued from page 1
I really want to believe Zone can be that magic recipe that can help me live a longer and healthier life, without too much effort. But I expected some scientific proof for all these promises. And what did I find instead? Some stories about people who successfully solved their problems by following Zone diet, and their everlasting gratitude to diet guru Barry Sears! I'm sorry, but I'm not buying that. Of course, there are some good aspects of Zone diet. It promotes healthy eating standards and gives some common-sense advice. Somewhere, on publishing road (more precisely with "Omega RX Zone --- The miracle of high-dose fish oil"), Dr. Sears advises us not to make any radical change in our dietary program without consulting a trained physician. But I think there are still many things that need to be proven in Zone. If it really does work way it promises, mankind should go beyond such problems as illness.
