• Dioxins in U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish (
• Omega 3s, Prostate Cancer, and Atrial Fibrillation (
• Fish Consumption and Suicide (
• Fish and Diabetes (
• ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease): Fishing for Answers (
• How Long to Detox From Fish Before Pregnancy? (

• The Alzheimer’s Gene: Controlling ApoE (
• Cholesterol and Alzheimer’s Disease (
