Eat this: Seal oil
I can't believe it! In Aftonbladet today there is an ad for Norwegian seal oil (Iglo Selolje). How would you feel about eating some Omega-3 fats from some clubbed greenland seals? That is what this is! I can easily eat some fish oils and plants, but no whales and seals...

"I spekket på grönlandssälen finns det höga koncentrationer av Omega-3 fettsyror. Eskimåerna använder säljoljan för att bibehålla sunt hjärta, gott immunförsvar, kretslopp, mjuka leder och vacker hud. Det är dokumenterat att molekylerna i säloljan ar uppbyggda på ett annat sätt an i fiskoljan, och att människor kan ta upp säljoljan bättre än fiskoljan. Man tror att det beror på att säljen är ett däggdjur." Källa: Fiskeridirektoratet (Norge)
No mention that the eskimos primarily use the seal as food, because there isn't much else to eat in the Arctic. For those of you that can read Swedish, note the funny misspellings too!

What does Seal Oil do anyways?
It has Omega-3 fatty acids in it, like fish oil and flax oil and that is good for you. So they say their Omega-3 oil capsules are better because they come from seals, not fish.
Does it make you lose weight or something?
No, it fights heart disease, is good for your joints and skin. I guess it just makes you healthier.
