Robert Lustig: Omega-3s are crucial for membrane fluidity, greatly impacting cell function #omega3
Excerpt of a YouTube video (speaker: Robert Lustig) describing how omega-3 fatty acids are structural components of cell membranes that stabilize membrane fluidity and can ameliorate fructose- and insulin-resistance–driven changes in that fluidity. Lustig cites studies by Fernando Gomez-Pinilla (UCLA). He contrasts omega-3s with dietary omega-6s (described as pro-inflammatory) and states that much systemic inflammation originates in the gut, while acknowledging autoimmune diseases as other inflammatory sources.
