100,000 deaths per year is A HUGE number. To put this into context, here are some common causes of death in America:
Blood infections: 36,000/year
Car Accidents: 40,000/year
Kidney Disease: 45,000/year
Influenza & Pneumonia: 56,000/year
Alzheimer’s: 72,000/year
Diabetes: 72,000/year
Can you guess what has just been found to be even deadlier than any of these well-known causes of death? According to a new Harvard University study, approximately 100,000 Americans die each year from Omega-3 deficiencies.
Yep, we’re talking about a simple dietary deficiency, which is now reportedly more life-threatening than blood infections, influenza, and pneumonia combined! This is shocking news, but hopefully this eye-opening research will alert more Americans to the vital importance of this “essential fatty acid.”
