What does science tell us? The earliest studies simply reported that populations that traditionally eat a lot of fish--think Greenland Eskimos, Native Americans of the Northwest and the Japanese--have relatively low rates of heart disease. Then laboratory analyses showed that omega-3 fatty acids lower the risk of clots developing in the blood--a common trigger for a heart attack--while reducing the level of triglycerides, another fatty compound that has been linked to heart disease, and decreasing the number of irregular heartbeats.

Here in the Great Bear Rainforest--which lies between Knight Inlet, about 100 air miles northwest of Vancouver, and the Alaska border--are some of the highest concentrations of grizzlies in North America. Up to three times as many live here as in all the U.S. Not only can I commune (at a safe distance) with the bears; I can get amazingly close to orcas, bald...
