The Awful

While all parts of the lambs contain omega-3 fats, the internal organs, including the kidneys, liver, intestines, gonads, and brain are the richest source of these nutrients. They also harbor high concentrations of other vitamins and minerals, including iron, folic acid, vitamins A and D, and zinc. They probably get their biggest boost of omega-3s from lamb offal during the slaughter season that takes place each fall, long after most fair weather tourists like myself are safely back in their own countries. However, it was not sure if it could stomach one of the most celebrated indigenous specialties: svio, or lamb brain, singed in the shell. It should be noted that while organ meats are nutrient rich, they are also calorie rich; therefore, I recommend keeping your servings on the smaller side.

A Knowledge

Although most consumers believe they have adequate knowledge about dietary supplements, a significant number would like more information about health benefits and think additional information would help them avoid potentially harmful adverse reactions. Other knowledge gaps pertain to specific nutrients, relationships between dietary supplements and disease, and outcomes of taking dietary supplements. In one survey, almost 60 percent of consumers incorrectly answered that it is more important for postmenopausal women to consume the recommended amount of calcium than for people of other ages. More than 40 percent incorrectly answered that iron supplements provide more energy. Twenty-one percent of consumers thought that noticeable effects of dietary supplements can be appreciated after one week, while 12 percent said they did not know how long it would take to see the effects.

Organic Dairy

In addition to having fewer pesticides and hormones, it appears that milk that is labeled organic also offers a better fat profile than conventional milk. This might be due to the fact that these cows spend more time grazing in an open pasture rather than being fed corn and other processed feeds. A recent study compared the omega-3 content in milk from thirty six organic and conventional dairy farms. They found that organic whole milk contained 70 percent more omega-3s than nonorganic whole milk, and the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 was much lower in the organic milk.
