In a New Yorker article titled “The Way We Age Now,” Atul Gawande writes:
With age . . . the gums tend to become inflamed.
As I posted a few weeks ago, my gums have recently become less inflamed — no doubt because of more omega-3 from flaxseed oil. For the first time in memory they are not inflamed at all. (My dentist was surprised. Hardly anybody improves, he said.) Could Gawande’s “with age” effect be due to not enough omega-3?
Thank you for your interesting comments!
