Inuit diet experiment

 

Hugh first wrote about the diet of the Inuit in 1953. In 1966, he lectured in Trondheim, where he renewed his interest. In 1976, he was able to spend some time joining the expedition of Drs Bang and Dyerberg in northwest Greenland, which led to his most widely known experiment, in which he put himself on an Inuit diet, consisting solely of seal, fish (including molluscs and crustaceans), and water for 100 days, starting in March, 1979. Many analyses were done, extreme disaggregation of platelets, with bleeding times rising from 3 to over 40 min, with spontaneous haemorrhages, being observed. Inuit are known to suffer from nosebleed. The experiment was a dramatic demonstration of the importance of long-chain fatty acids of fish oils in decreasing the aggregation of platelets and thus the incidence of thrombosis.
