Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes, and it's a chronic disease with very serious, potentially life-threatening complications. Because it tends to be fairly hereditary, relatives of Type 2 diabetes patients are at a higher risk for developing it themselves.

Here's some great news for women going through menopause! A recent study, published earlier this year in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, presents the first evidence that fish oil supplements are effective for treating common menopause-related mental health problems. The researchers conducting the double-blind trial recruited 120 women ages 40 to 55 and divided them into two groups. Over 8 weeks, women in the first group took 1 gram of EPA and .15 grams of DHA a day (EPA and DHA are the two omega-3s in fish oil). In the second group, the women were given a placebo of 1g of sunflower oil, which contains no EPA or DHA. Test results before and after the eight week period showed that omega-3 significantly improved the condition of women suffering psychological distress and mild depressive symptoms. Women with hot flashes also noted that their condition improved after consuming omega-3s.

As pointed out in the Journal of Nutrition, a number of animal studies have shown that fish ...
