It may be correlation rather than causation, but since I started taking Omega-3 capsules (fish oil or krill oil, it doesn’t seem to matter) my episodes of depression have been both shallower, shorter, and fewer and further between.  Maybe as I’ve gotten older my brain chemistry has changed, but I’m willing to spend a…

Fish oil makes my dogs coat shiny. This is all the evidence I need. 

The point of fish oil is as an anti-inflammatory. There are many studies linking it to be beneficial for those with inflammatory or neurological issues. Even if it specifically doesn’t help much with heart disease, this does not at all mean that it doesn’t have numerous benefits for other health conditions

Thank you for saying this. While in general I think a lot of supplements are scam-my, this study looks at only the potential benefits of fish oil on heart health. That doesn’t mean there aren’t other benefits. 

I have really sensitive dry eyes and was getting “pink eye” but it wasnt actual pink eye from infection/bacteria, just irritation. My eye doctor told me to take fish oil (nordic naturals was his recommended brand) and it did actually help...

Okay, I used to work in guidelines. Let me give a little context.

the cholesterol findings are still legit and a major use case

Do you hear the people sing,/Singing the song for Hungry Man/It is the music of a people/Who will not be slaves again/When the beating of your heart/Echoes the bleating of the dumb/There is a life about to start/When Spice has swallowed his cinnamon gum

Yeah, that’s the trap right there: it’s not so much that the rich and well-off don’t work hard. They frequently do, especially among the Top 2-10% who form the core of our finance class, elite corporate attorneys, doctors and the like. Anyone who makes partner at an elite corporate firm has essentially sold off the…

Rugged individualism is hot garbage invented by rich, straight, white men to provide an origin myth for their power and success so that they don’t have to be faced with the truth that they arrived where they are by standing on the necks of people of color and women.

When you accept a job in which your foremost duty is lying to the American public, you deserve to have the press pool rip you a new orifice every single day of the week. A lie delivered “sweetly” is still a lie, and SHS has been far from amiable.
Any person accepting the job of press secretary for this administration…

There’s only one acceptable replacement for Sanders: The statue of Buddy Jesus.

That was one of the happiest and most nervous moments of my entire life.

the Utah Gun Exchange people have been following the Parkland students around the country in “a military-style armored vehicle” and holding their own counter-protests.

In the 2030s (really not very long from now), the Utah Gun Exchange will be long gone, and the US government will be run by these far better members of society...

In response to the flood of burners and, let’s face it, men moaning about how this advice is either: 1. sexist or 2. pointless because everyone recognizes these volunteer tasks and gives credit for it, allow me to present a small sample of the ways that I, a professional woman, have been asked to volunteer to do…

In my experience, the “boring shit” becomes invisible to supervisors and you get absolutely no credit for it. You’d be amazed how many men I’ve worked with who think the office refrigerator cleans itself. Or who think the copier paper magically gets restocked in the machine. Like it or not, many guys willfully ignore…

My first thought was this so-real scene from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend:

I “love” all the burners, most (if not all) of whom are (self-identified!) men, commenting on this. As a woman affected by this, let me give you guys some perspective:

(Woman in engineering) For better or worse, one of my mentors in college strongly impressed on us (female engineering students) that we should never EVER volunteer to do admin/office management tasks once we started working as it would blur the lines on our actual job duties and reinforce the idea that women do office…
