Salmon is a good source of omega-3 if it wild caught, not farm raised. But given the amount of contamination in fish these days, 2-3grams of high quality fish oil is better. Nordic Naturals sells premium quality fish oil and is available at Whole Foods and online About saturated fat: There is no valid research that has demonstrated the link between saturated fat, dietary cholesterol and heart disease. You still hear it in main-stream medicine a lot, but the real culprit is sugar. Your brain is 60% saturated fat, mother's milk is almost 60% cholesterol. Saturated fat is essential for hormone production and sex drive. Low fat= no sex drive. About Cocoa: 1: The darker the chocolate, the better it is. Look for a brand that stipulates at least 70% cocoa. Most people find 85% brands way too bitter to eat. 2: Read the entire label! Watch out for ingredients such as high-fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated fats. These ingredients will mitigate the health benefits of chocolate. 3: Keep the milk out of it! Drinking a whole glass of milk with your chocolate is enough to block absorption of all the anti-oxidants, studies have revealed. Stay away from milk chocolate products.
