Show me the data for cancer/heart disease rate per population Vs any population in the world.
You need reference when posting such data .
Plz be noted that Inuit population is known for alcoholism. Furthermore, The modern Inuit has also shifted their diet closer to SAD ( FLour, Sugar and etc) . All these alone could easily account for the low life expectancy of the population.
n-3 Fatty acids and cardiovascular disease risk factors among the Inuit of Nunavik -- Dewailly et al. 74 (4): 464 -- American Journal of Clinical Nutrition Quote:
Conclusions: Consumption of marine products, the main source of EPA and DHA, appears to beneficially affect some cardiovascular disease risk factors. The traditional Inuit diet, which is rich in n-3 fatty acids, is probably responsible for the low mortality rate from ischemic heart disease in this population.
In 1992 daily intakes of n-3 fatty acids from traditional food, especially fish, marine mammals, and piscivorous wildfowl, were high among Inuit persons compared with intakes by other populations (2, 17, 18). However, strong evidence exists of a decrease in traditional food consumption by the Inuit, primarily from 1950 to 1970, when Inuit populations settled into permanent communities and market foods became increasingly available (18, 19). In several native populations, a shift away from traditional lifestyles and diets is associated with an increased prevalence of risk factors for CVD, such as high blood pressure, elevated blood lipids, diabetes, and obesity (20–23). Additionally, evidence points to increasing rates of death from IHD and stroke among native populations. In this study, we examined the n-3 fatty acid status of a representative sample of Nunavik Inuit and verified the relation between plasma phospholipid concentrations of n-3 fatty acids and various CVD risk factors.
