Several years ago Harvard researchers have determined that almost 100,000 (72,000-96,000) preventable deaths occur each year due to omega-3 deficiency! This should have been headlines news, but instead, we read and hear about the need for more drugs. I would also add the importance of vitamin D in overall health.
