We hear of illnesses and disabilities all the time and yet most of the time, we don’t really care. However, when reality strikes us hard and fast and we wake up on the other side of the equation, we suddenly feel vulnerable, mortal, and most of all, conscious. We start paying attention to every single detail in the way we live our lives.

Still, no one needs a rude awakening to start being health conscious. Take it from Lois Smithers in her book “The Food Industry’s Greed: How Misleading Labeling of Omega-3 Foods Undermines Health – Inflammation and Omega-6.” Smithers personally suffered from inflammation brought about by fatty acids found in Omega-6. On the positive note, a product of that ordeal is this amazing research on food labeling and Omega-3 foods.

We see those Omega-3 foods in stores and supermarkets and propaganda may have influenced us to consume them since they’re “good for the heart.” But beyond those claims, Smithers provides us with clear and easy to understand information on those details obscured by marketing and advertising schemes.

If you’re joining the health-consciousness bandwagon, then you might want to grab a copy of this book. A quick but a very informative read.
