Why Our Brains Are Shrinking

Today’s guest is Professor Michael Crawford. He discovered that brains are made out of omega-3 DHADHA is short for Docosahexaenoic Acid. It is an essential omega-3 fatty acid found in fish such as salmon, mackerel and herring, and is often… in the 1970s. He is the Director of the Institute of Brain Chemistry and Human Nutrition.

At Chelsea & Westminster he has shown that pregnant women lacking omega-3 make a ‘filler fat’ called oleic acid, blood levels of which predict brain developmental and cognitive problems in their babies. His new book The Shrinking Brain explains why humanity is devolving, with dire consequences, unless we take action now to put nutrition and brain health at the top of the agenda.
