sardines good food for omega & protein?

[Gbr]

Just wondering, as I often have a small can of them in soya
oil, spring water or tomatoe sauce as a late night filler. I
used to have a lot of fish(salmon) in my diet, but dont live
near the 'chuck anymore so salmon intake has decreased
significantly.

thanks in advance!

ps. I do take 1000g of cod liver oil on a daily basis...

Sardines are a most excellent source of EFAs & protein. Quick,
tasty, and cheap.

IMHO forget the ones in soya oil. Your diet probably already
has too much omega-6.

Tomato sauce supplies lycopene which is a good antioxidant
that needs a little oil for efficient absorption so that seems
like a serendipic combination.

Sardines are likely to be beneficial in other ways besides
supplying omega-3 oils. Taurine is one possible beneficial
nutrient to be found in fish.

I really don't think you do. 1000g is about 2.2 pounds. It
seems more likely that you take 1000 mg = 1 gram of cod
liver oil.

1000g, huh. Are you in Guinness Book of Records or something?

Yes - see below. Every day I eat a 4 oz can of sardines in
olive oil as a evening snack.

www.foodstandards.gov.uk "Sardines and pilchards are both
oily fish, so they are good sources of omega 3 fatty acids,
which can help to prevent heart disease. Pilchards and
sardines are both small fish in the herring family. Since
they are essentially the same fish, they have a similar omega
3 content.

The canning process doesn't reduce the amount of omega 3 in
sardines or pilchards. So both tinned and fresh sardines and
pilchards count as oily fish. Tinned tuna doesn't count as
oily fish because most of its oils are lost during the canning
process. We should all try to eat two servings of fish a week,
including one serving of oily fish."

They're also an excellent source of CoQ10. Magical little
fish they are!

Actually, that should be two (2) servings of cold water fatty
fish a week.

Hark! My private health newsgroup beckons!

just what exactly are "tinned" fish? I eat sardines that I
thought were canned from the market. and they look and taste
pretty oily to me. I have to drain the oil out in the sink
before I eat them so I don't mess up my kitchen table.

"Tinned" just means "canned". The canning process for tuna is
different from that used for sardines. Tuna isn't a terribly
oily fish to begin with, and loses more during canning.
Salmon, sardines and pilchards retain more of their oils, and
they have more to begin with.

Yes, isn't the modern life of a Hunter-Gather bread winner, a

elk down for food, huh.
