Nearly all of the Inuit in Nielsen's study had variances in these genes that researchers think slow down the body's natural production of omega-3 and omega-6 fats. "We saw that the Inuit have such a ...

The Inuit’s fat-rich traditional diet also might cause elevated cardiac disease in populations without their genetic adaptation. “They had to adapt to a diet from their environment that is ...

Climate change is altering diets and lifestyles among Inuit people, according to a scientist who has studied the human face of global warming in the Arctic.

Inuit role minimized. Through the food security report we see that not only is a lack of decision-making linked to food insecurity but it is the leading driver. For example: ...

The more recent studies may represent an Inuit population that eats a more Western diet than in Bang and Dyerberg’s day. But a report published by a Danish doctor in 1940 also described high ...

UC Berkeley, Greenland and Denmark researchers have found unique genetic mutations in the Inuit genome that make them more adapted to cold as well as a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids, with the ...

Among the Inuit people of Northern Canada, high consumption of tradition marine foods results in high plasma levels of n-3 fatty acids and significant reductions in cardiovascular risk.

A new study on Inuit in Greenland suggests that Arctic peoples evolved genetic adaptations that allow them to get by mostly on seal blubber and meat without developing health problems.

We talk a lot on The Salt about the Mediterranean diet, which is rich in nuts, olive oil, fish, fruits and vegetables. Scientists believe it's one of the world's healthiest patterns of eating, and can ...
