Chemistry - Chemical Industries - Learning Points. In 1979, Prof Sinclair conducted an extreme experiment to prove his hypothesis - that omega-3 fatty acid found in oily fish helped protect against cardiovascular disease. Prof Sinclair spent 100 days in Greenland - eating an 'Inuit diet'. The results proved that omega-3 fatty acid did in fact thin the blood, and are vital for brain function and body growth. A Twig Context Film. Reinforce and extend the learning required by the curriculum. Twig’s context films show abstract concepts in action in the real world.\n
