Primary Evidence

"Ocean Nutrition’s effort to inject omega-3s into as many products as possible was part of what Jonathon Gatehouse, writing in Maclean’s, called “the tide of omega-3 products now washing over grocery-store shelves.” Eggs, cereal, milk, pork, and chicken were all being enriched with omega-3s, which were being hyped as a promising nutritional tool to combat arthritis, colon and breast cancers, heart disease, depression, Alzheimer’s disease, and more. For companies like Ocean Nutrition, the explosion of interest in omega-3s—part of a larger and growing market for so-called “superfoods”—had “turned fish-plant garbage into grocery-store gold.”"
