Much has been written about poverty but
none of the accounts seem to get at the root of the problem. It must be noted
that the weakening effects of poverty are not only the result of lack of money
but are also the result of powerlessness. The poor are subject to their social
situation instead of being able to affect it through action, that is, through
behavior that flows from an individual’s decisions and plans, in other words,

In addition, it has been shown conclusively that people suffering from elevated blood lipids react positively to treatment using fish oils.

It was found that the Inuit, with their traditional diet of seal, whale and Arctic fish — a diet very high in fat — suffered practically no heart disease, had near zero incidence of diabetes, and enjoyed a comparatively low rate of rheumatoid arthritis. (Interestingly, incidence of cancer, equal to that found in most other parts of the world, appeared unaffected by the traditional Inuit diet.)
