I have heard that Eskimos from Alaska and Greenland, who eat mainly fatty foods such as whale blubber and salmon everyday, are actually very healthy. What does the research suggest about this?

This is true. The Inuit have the largest per capita Omega-3 EFA consumption of any population on the planet. This translates into a much lower disease risk profile in terms of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and the other major disease categories that are ravaging America today. For more on an interesting finding about the Inuit population’s fantastic Omega-3 consumption and its corresponding health dividends, see the Fat Facts section.
