I totally agree with Sarah in regards to Smart Balance fat free milk. There is no difference in taste whatsoever. For all the benefits that this milk has i think its worth making it a part of your regular diet. I love the milk in comparison to the 2% Garelick milk that i previously used to have. For all the omega 3 supplements and lesser fat calories this milk has to offer i am actually indulging myself in tiny sweet desserts as a treat once in a while without the usual guilt. I’ve noticed that it has successfully kept my weight in control with absolutely no extra effort from my part. Wouldnt mind the smell for all the cholestrol, fat and calories that it keeps in check.

Omega 3 fatty acids are magic for your skin. They keep skin cells moist and strong, which is an essential element of younger looking skin

Omega 3 fatty acids found in fish oil:

* helps reduce acne
* reduces skin inflammation
* make skin soft and supple
* reduce dry and scaly skin

Recent studies have shown that a diet low in essential fatty acids (that covers around 99% of the US population) can lead to dry skin and premature wrinkles. Boosting your intake of fatty acids will improve smoothness and radiance of your skin.

It is important to choose a good quality omega 3 supplement. An inferior quality supplement can have contaminants such as mercury, lead or other heavy metals. It is also important that you choose a supplement that is not made from farm-produced fish as the fish food which is used to feed farm fish contains heavy metals. The best quality fish oil is made from red salmon fished in the northern, colder latitudes where the waters are not contaminated by industrial dumping. Omega 3 supplements like, Triple Strength Omega 3, contain pharmaceutical grade fish oil of 90% purity.

Good article. It should also be noted that many people who are either allergic to shellfish or who do not wish to take a supplement containing animal products don't realise that there are also Omega-3 supplements derived from algae instead. This means that everyone can actually benefit from taking an omega-3 supplement

This is in response to ms. distressedDerma’s comment with regard to the Smart Balance milk. For $3 I would suggest that if you are thinking of trying it – go for it! I was skeptical, but since I liked the Smart Balance spread I went ahead and tried it. For me, I found very little difference in taste. The only time I notice any difference in smell is if I deliberately put my nose closely and strongly inhale. I do prefer the fat free over the 1% because there is a difference in thickness. I don’t like whole milk because it’s too thick and the 1% Smart Balance is smiliar to that of Whole… the fat free Smart Balance is similar to that of 2%, which I prefer. What it comes down to, folks, is your own personal preference. My son has even used it in his cereal when he was out of his own milk and could tell no difference – and he’s a picky eater. So again, I urge you to make the decision for yourself. I know $3 can be pricey, but with the added Omega 3’s if you like it just might be worth it to you.

A healthy diet is up to you and lots of people need to rethink their eating behavior because lots of them don’t know what some products can do to their body and I don’t say that in a positive way.

That’s very believable because I excluded carbs and sugars from my diet for about 2 weeks when I was trying to cure a fungal sinus infection. The infection didn’t improve much but it did wonders for my skin. It completely cleared up. I’m not on that diet any longer but I eat carbs in moderation and cut out refined sugars completely. My skin is now a lot better than it was when I was eating mostly carbs everyday. I’m also going to get a food allergy test done soon to get to the bottom of my break outs.Do you mind if I repost the article?
