1. The study found that omega-3 fatty acids and foods high in a compound called uridine were able to
reduce the symptoms of depression as well as or better than three different antidepressant drugs that
were tested. This research was conducted at the McLean Hospital, which is affiliated with Harvard. It's
very exciting to see this kind of study, because it shows yet more scientific evidence for the healing
effects of food as well as the relative uselessness of prescription drugs.
Based on the results of this study, it seems silly that anyone would continue to use

2. antidepressant drugs to try to treat depression when there are simple healing foods available that do a
better job. This is especially true when considering the potentially dangerous side effects of
antidepressant drugs that are now coming to light, including increased risk of suicides, violent behavior,
and other similar acts of aggression. But what healing foods in particular are we talking about in this
study? In addition to the omega-3 fatty acids, these health enhancing substances are found in walnuts,
molasses, and fish, according to researchers. They're also found in many other foods.
All of this also goes to show why people who pursue healthy diets tend to have such a positive outlook
and outstanding mental health -- it's the foods, stupid, because the food greatly affects your mental
state, and if you eat healing foods, and foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients, then you're
going to have healthy mental function and will probably never experience depression, especially if you
combine these foods with natural sunlight. But if you eat processed foods and manufactured foods, as
are generally consumed by most Americans, then of course you're going to be depressed, because
you're not giving your brain the nutrients it needs to achieve a healthy mental state.
So it is in fact the food supply that is causing depression in this country. It's all the refined ingredients
that have their nutrition stripped away. That's what's causing depression, but what do we do in this
country to treat depression? We come up with new drugs like Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft, and we give
those to people and charge them sometimes thousands of dollars a year to stay on these drugs. They
don't need these drugs -- what they really need are just healing foods. They need to go to the grocery
store, shop for some healthy foods like wheat germ, molasses, avocados, and so on, and eat those foods
in order to have healthy brain balance and avoid depression. It's really not that difficult.
What else is exciting here is that we're seeing yet more benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. These omega-3
oils are almost miracle-class healing nutrients. They enhance heart health, they reduce the risk of
cardiovascular disease, they boost brain function and nerve system function, and now we're seeing they
even function as effective antidepressants. Clearly, omega-3 fatty acids are one of the most exciting
nutrients in foods that are available to American consumers, and you can get these in everyday foods, or
as nutritional supplements in things like salmon oil or flax seed oil. You can also eat chia seeds if you'd
like to get some good, healthy omega-3's.
