The Algae Oil Revolution

Omega-3 fatty acids have played a crucial role in the evolution of our intelligence. Due to our evolutionary history, however, we can efficiently utilize only aquatic omega-3 fatty acids. Yet, fish and seafood are no longer sufficiently available to us due to overfishing of the world's oceans, not to mention their contamination with pollutants. Algae oil is a purely plant-based source of aquatic omega-3 fatty acids and at the same time the only sustainable alternative to address the worldwide deficiency of aquatic omega-3 fatty acids. This deficiency is partly responsible for nearly all modern diseases—ranging from heart attacks to stroke, from depression to Alzheimer's, and from diabetes to cancer. During childhood development, a deficit of this essential brain-building substance leads to severe impairments in emotional, social, and rational intelligence—not least to ADHD and autism. Regular intake of algae oil prevents life-threatening omega-3 deficiency and makes an essential contribution to healthy living.

In The Algae Oil Revolution, renowned scientist and bestselling author Michael Nehls introduces the reader to this sustainable and accessible substance, explains why and how it can prevent a range of diseases, and also sheds light on what this discovery means for the future of global human health.
