0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Burg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. |
0:07.8 | Burg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. |
0:12.2 | Hey guys, I wanted to do an update on a recent video that I did entitled Omega 3 Fatty |
0:26.9 | acids in Cannes Sardines. This is part 2. Now in the first video, I talked about how heat |
0:34.2 | destroys Omega 3 fatty acids because DHA and EPA, which are Omega 3 fatty acids, are |
0:41.0 | very sensitive to oxygen and heat and when you can things, you heat them. And a lot of |
0:47.5 | times, manufacturing companies will reheat it with high temperatures up to five hours |
0:53.2 | after they initially pasteurize it, really making sure everything is completely dead, just |
0:58.5 | to preserve it, especially when you do meats. So when I initially researched this, I found |
1:03.6 | that anytime you can anything, you destroy these Omega 3 fatty acids. However, I had a |
1:09.2 | little attention in the fact that I personally have not tested this out. I based this off |
1:13.9 | of second hand information. So I recently hired a third party lab and I send out two random |
1:20.2 | samples, one, a can of sardines and the other is a can of tuna, to evaluate how much Omega |
1:26.3 | 3 fatty acids were in these Cannes products. And I was positive that it was going to come |
1:31.6 | out zero. Boy, was I wrong. Okay, this actually shocked me. So the sardines had a DHA of 788 |
1:42.6 | milligrams and EPA of 742 milligrams. That's a significant amount of Omega 3 fatty acids. |
1:52.2 | And in the sample of can tuna, we had 57 milligrams of DHA and 41 milligrams of EPA. And another |
2:00.1 | interesting point are the sardines. The sardines were 13 times higher in DHA than the tuna. |
2:08.1 | And the EPA was 18 times higher than the EPA of tuna. And these are Omega 3 fatty acids, |
2:16.6 | which is interesting. So the only way this makes sense to me is they probably don't use |
2:21.4 | the high level of heat of other products like canned meats. So anyway, I will be deleting |
2:26.7 | the other video and I wanted you to have the correct updated information that it is true |
