“…11,12 Omega-3 fatty acids are critical for fetal brain development and have been associated with improved vision in preterm infants, as well as better cardiovascular health later in life. 13 Higher mercury levels in children, however, have been associated with deficits in memory, learning, and behavior. 14 Ideally, pregnant women would consume those fish that are low in mercury and high in omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon, sardines, and anchovies.…”

“…Emerging research confirms that significant nutritional deficiency of required materials is much more common than recognized and a ubiquitous cause of sickness [38]. Examples include vitamin D and some required lipids, recognized regulators of hundreds of genes, which have been found in several recent epidemiological studies to be deficient in many population groups [39, 40]. …”

Throughout the continuum of medical and scientific history, repeated evidence has confirmed that the main etiological determinants of disease are nutritional deficiency, toxicant exposures, genetic predisposition, infectious agents, and psychological dysfunction. Contemporary conventional medicine generally operates within a genetic predestination paradigm, attributing most chronic and degenerative illness to genomic factors, while incorporating pathogens and psychological disorder in specific situations. Toxicity and deficiency states often receive insufficient attention as common source causes of chronic disease in the developed world. Recent scientific evidence in health disciplines including molecular medicine, epigenetics, and environmental health sciences, however, reveal ineluctable evidence that deficiency and toxicity states feature prominently as common etiological determinants of contemporary ill-health. Incorporating evidence from historical and emerging science, it is evident that a reevaluation of conventional wisdom on the current construct of disease origins should be considered and that new knowledge should receive expeditious translation into clinical strategies for disease management and health promotion. An analysis of almost any scientific problem leads automatically to a study of its history.—Ernst Mayr

“…Raspberry seed oil has a high content of n-6 and n-3 essential fatty acids [11,12], which are necessary for growth and development of living organisms and can decrease the effects of oxidative stress in organisms [12]. They have an important role in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases [13,14] and cancer [15].…”

Fresh raspberry (Rubus idaeus), cultivar Willamette, was freeze-dried (lyophilization). A byproduct of lyophilization is "fine dust" of raspberry consisting of finely ground raspberry fruit body and seed. The seeds were separated. The seed oil was isolated and its physical and chemical characteristics were determined. Parameters that characterize the seed and quality of the oil were examined, including fatty acid composition, oxidative stability under different storage conditions, and radical-scavenging activity. The fatty acid composition was determined by GC/FID and the contents of the dominant fatty acids were found as: oleic 16.92%, linoleic 54.95%, and a-linolenic acid 23.97%. The oxidative stability of the oil was poor. The induction period by Rancimat test at 100 7C was 5.2 h. The radical-scavenging activity is similar to that of resveratrol [1,3-benzenediol 5-(1 E -2-4-hydroxy-phenyl-ethyl)]. Although this product is used in the candy industry, it would be far more useful if raspberry oil of satisfactory quality could be extracted. This paper demonstrates that sifted lyophilized seeds can be used for the extraction of oils. This process allows for maximal usage of the byproducts, reduces losses and it increases the development of new products.
