Why do you think the US military would be interested in omega-3?

Why WOULDN'T war fighters be interested is the real question!

After all, research shows that omega-3 intake is effective in treating conditions for which soldiers commonly receive hospital care, including depression, surgical complications, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Here's what else omega-3 can do:

* Enhances stress resilience
* Enhances general wellness
* Improves performance
* Cuts hospital bills
* Speeds recovery from traumatic brain injuries.

So why not add it to your supplement regiment...

How flossing your teeth could reduce your risk of getting cancer...

Gum disease has been linked with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. And in a new study, researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health found that gum disease was a major risk factor for pancreatic cancer.

The study highlighted that people with a history of periodontal disease are 63% more likely to get pancreatic cancer.

The study ran for 16 years and tracked more than 50,000 men. Other risk factors such as  smoking, obesity, diabetes, a sedentary lifestyle and diet were factored out.

The more severe the periodontal disease, the greater the risk was.

Researchers speculate that gum disease causes chronic inflammation in the body which ultimately predisposes people to pancreatic cancer.

Another possible reason for the link is the high levels of bacteria and nitrosamines (a potent carcinogenic in tobacco) found in the mouths and stomachs of people with gum disease.

Men who had both gum disease and tooth loss had the highest risk for pancreatic cancer.

More research is needed but in the meantime floss and take care of your teeth to help prevent cancer.
