Massachusetts Based Naked Fish Restaurants First In Boston To Make Switch To Whole Harvest No Trans Oil.

Naked Fish
Restaurants have made the switch to No-Trans Fat, Whole Harvest Culinary Oils
in all 7 of its locations throughout Massachusetts.
In an effort to provide healthful menu options, lower food costs and
increase kitchen efficiency, Naked Fish has been using Whole Harvest Oils in a
wide range of culinary applications for over one year.
Rosario Del Nero, Naked Fish’s Corporate Chef is enthusiastic about the
addition of Whole Harvest to its menus.
“I’m very pleased with the flavor and texture of our food fried in Whole
Harvest as well as the durability of the oil,” said Del Nero.
Compared with other no-trans soy and sunflower oils that use chemical
processes, Whole Harvest Oils are all natural, retain their natural Omega-3’s,
and remain flavor neutral even in extensive testing.
“But the most important advantage to the Naked Fish and our customers is
the absence of trans fats and the fact that Whole Harvest Oils are non-
hydrogenated,” said Del Nero.
The recipient of numerous industry honors including a Nation’s Restaurant
News Hot Concept award in 2000, Naked Fish features a fresh approach to fish
and meats while providing a fun, satisfying and hip dining experience with a
Latin flair.

CAN fish oils really boost your child’s intelligence?

Look: Real brain food; CAN fish oils really boost your child’s intelligence? Jane Woodhead and Tina Miles find out.

VERYDAY we hear about yet another important food we should either be eating ourselves or including in our children’s diet.

Now it appears that fish oils are the key ingredient for our children’s health, improved performance in school and better behaviour.

But should we believe this? Research is now being done to find out how much of a benefit these fish oil supplements really are.

Youngsters Monica and Ashleigh Gilbert both take fish oil supplements and their mother, Christine, believes they have helped tremendously.

Both children have shown massive academic improvements since taking the fish oils and Monica, who is seven and a pupil at St Johns RC Infant School in Bebington, have even won a number of awards.

Christine, from New Ferry, explains: ‘Monica is doing brilliantly at school. She gets really high marks in her spelling and is a fluent reader. Last week, she received a head teacher’s award for doing exceptionally well and for being such a wellbehaved and polite person.’

Christine believes this is a result of taking fish oil supplements.

‘At first, Monica was a bit wary about taking the fish oils and she wanted to know all about why they were important. She wants to go to Wirral Grammar, so she will have to pass the 11-plus and I told her they will help her at school. She also wants to become a doctor, so I explained they would help her become more intelligent.’

Christine has been so impressed with the improvements Monica has made since she started taking fish oil supplements, she now gives them to her two-year-old sister, Ashleigh.

‘Ashleigh is very clever. She can already count to 10, knows the alphabet and loves educational games.

‘Like many other youngsters, she has been known to throw tantrums if she couldn’t get her own way’ A doctor recommended giving Ashleigh fish oils and multi-vitamins and there have been good improvements. I noticed changes in her behaviour after about six weeks.’

Christine also includes fish in the diets of both her children at least once a week.

Alice Sutton, a paediatric dietician at Arrowe Park hospital, believes the evidence on the positive effects of fish oils does carry weight.

‘Fish oils can be of benefit to a child’s intelligence, including reading, spelling and general behaviour’ I would always encourage parents to try to introduce fish into their child’s diet from a very young age. This way, they will grow to like it. Oily fish, including salmon, tinned sardines and fresh or frozen tuna are also excellent and these can all be bought without the bones and given to children at an early age.’

Mrs Sutton says that if children really will not eat fish, supplements are a good alternative.

But she warns care should be taken choosing a suitable fish oil.

‘In cod liver oil, the fatty acids are found in the liver of the cod, hence its name and as a result you are also getting vitamin A and D. To receive high amounts of fatty acids from cod liver oil, large amounts would have to be taken.

‘Pure fish oils, such as Omega 3 tablets can be bought. The oil in these is in the tissue of the fish, so this is obviously more beneficial

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Monica and Ashleigh Gilbert and, inset, a salmon which, like sardines and tuna, is an oily fish
