| Beauty, Salmon and DMAE
DMAE is a naturally occurring nutrient found in high concentrations in fish, salmon and sardines in particular. Our brains maintain a small amount of it, which plays several crucial functions. Most fundamentally, this nutrient protects the integrity of cell membranes. |

Salmon Facelift
It’s salmon, salmon, and more salmon, says American Yale dermatologist, Dr Nicholas Perricone. He believes salmon holds one of the vital keys to looking younger. Eaten in enough quantities with certain other foods, he claims it can actually wipe away those wrinkles. |

Dr. Perricone Salmon Diet
Skin rejuvenation is big business, with jars of creams and ointments costing hundreds of rands. An American Yale professor and doctor, Nicholas Perricone, claims that three days on a specified diet will leave you with a radiant and less wrinkly skin. If you think this diet sounds fishy... it is |

What is DMAE
DMAE can elevate one’s mood, counter depression, and boost cognitive functions (such as memory and concentration), and even increase intelligence. These benefits stem from this nutrient’s role in manufacturing acetylcholine, which is a substance responsible for healthy mental functioning. |

| Health, Salmon and Omega-3
Salmon is low in calories and saturated fat, yet high in protein, and a unique type of health-promoting fat, the omega-3 essential fatty acids. As their name implies, essential fatty acids are essential for human health but because they cannot be made by the body, they must be obtained from foods. Wild-caught cold water fish, like salmon, are higher in omega-3 fatty acids than warm water fish. In addition to their high concentration of omega-3s, salmon are an excellent source of the B vitamins, B12 and niacin, and the trace mineral, selenium. |

Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acid
Fat has a bad reputation. It is a word associated with obesity, heart disease and many other disease states. However, not all fats are bad fats. |

| The Farm Raised versus Wild Salmon Debate
Long revered for its virtues in reducing heart disease and amplifying brain wattage, the hot-selling fish recently became the latest food villain of the month. Like wine and chocolate before it, salmon is now the subject of contradictory science. |

PCBs in farmed salmon
Seven of ten farmed salmon purchased at grocery stores in Washington DC, San Francisco, and Portland, Oregon were contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) at levels that raise health concerns, according to independent laboratory tests commissioned by Environmental Working Group. |

Salmon: Down on the Farm
It’s important to eat fish because of its heart-healthy omega-3 fats. Salmon has been catching up with tuna, America’s favorite fish, in large part because it is rich in omega-3s. |

Farm salmon fiasco joins history of food scares
We have a rich history of health scares, great trumped-up phony hazards that supposedly lurk in our food and environment. Cancer-causing agents, identified by the thousands, march through the media almost daily. The big ones—from electromagnetic fields to alar to PCBs and trans fats—linger for years in the public mind before they eventually fade. Sometimes whole industries are wiped out or are traumatized. |
