Robert Lustig on Omega-3 Fats: recommends

Dr. Robert Lustig recommends eating omega-3 fats from sources including wild fatty fish such as salmon, grass-fed (not corn-fed) meat, and omega-3-rich eggs. He says omega-3s support insulin sensitivity, reduce inflammation, and improve mitochondrial function.

His stated reasoning ties to his broader metabolic framework: the modern food supply, he argues, has shifted the fat balance toward omega-6-rich oils and corn-fed animal products, and restoring omega-3 intake is one way to “protect the liver” and support cellular energy metabolism. He contrasts grass-fed meat favorably with corn-fed feedlot meat, which he says comes from cows with metabolic syndrome.
