It's not a joke.

One of the common threads amongst the findings of Drs. Eades, Cordain,
Sears, and Udo Erasmus is that Paleolithic man consumed a much higher
percentage of Omega-3 Fatty Acids than modern man - in fact, many
people today who don't like fish hardly get any Omega-3 Fatty Acids at
all, and are severely deficient.

Adding Omega-3 Fatty Acids to the diet has been shown by recent
research to help a variety of ailments that are usually known as
"diseases of civilization", including arthritis, asthma, allergies and
other maladies involving inflammation, due to its effects on
prostaglandins and the hormonal system.

Changing one's dietary intake as proposed by the adherents of Paleo
DIet creates a health improvement that is essentially free of charge
(especially if you get the books at the library), and the result of
that is a drastic reduction of the income of the medical
establishment, since you aren't buying patentable medicines, and you
aren't spending hundreds of dollars on doctor visits.

This was clear to the medical establishment even back in the
nineteenth century, and thus when the beneficial effects of Omega-3
Fatty Acids were first discovered and popularized back then, they
realized that they needed a massive campaign of disinformation,
otherwise they would face a drastic reduction in their business.  So,
they decided to make Omega-3 Fatty Acids synonymous with fraud, and
started the biggest false propaganda campaign of all time.

You see, the substance in the world that has the greatest percentage
of Omega-3 Fatty Acids is not fish oil, but snake oil.

For more details on snake oil, see Chapter 56 of "Fats that Heal, Fats
that Kill" by Udo Erasmus, PhD.   For more details on Omega-3 Fatty
Acids, see the Erasmus book and also "The Omega-Rx Zone" by Barry
Sears, PhD.
