Question:
Since Forks over Knives promotes no-oil cooking and food, what about fish oil supplements?
— Lori Winning
Answer:
In the Forks Over Knives philosophy, it's not only, uh, no added oil, but it's also no animal product. So it's a completely plant-based, uh, vegan approach within the Forks over knives philosophy. So that would, um, you know, eliminate fish oil from being a, a possible supplement. Now for people who are looking for, um, omega three fatty acids, or d h a supplements and things like that, there are plant-based versions of those products, if that's what you're looking for. And certainly something that you, um, could talk to your healthcare professional about. Um, if you're trying to re, you know, replace some of the beneficial, um, essential fatty acids typically found in fish, if you're trying to still maintain that within a whole food, plant-based diet.
