I. Omega-3 Fatty Acids From Fish Oils Have So Many Health Benefits . .
.

Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health evaluated the
health and fish consumption of over 5,000 female nurses diagnosed with
type II diabetes. They examined whether the intake of fish and
omega-3 fatty acids was associated with a reduced risk for coronary
heart disease (CHC) and total mortality, over a period of 16 years.
The women who consumed fish five or more times per week had a 64
percent reduction of coronary heart disease and a 52 percent reduced
rate of total mortality compared to the women who ate fish less than
once per month. Overall, a higher consumption of omega-3 fatty acids
was associated with a 31 percent reduce risk of coronary heart disease
and a 37 percent reduced risk for total mortality. Reference:
Circulation. (2003). Vol. 107 pp. 1852-7.

II. Omega-3 Fatty Acids From Fish Oils Vs. Heart Attacks . . .

An interesting study investigated the effects of omega-3 fatty acids
(DHA and EPA) from fish oils on heart attacks of adults over the age
of 65.

They recruited over 5,000 men and women for the study. Blood samples
were compared to 54 cases of non-fatal heart attack patients to an
equal number of subjects who were characteristically matched.

The samples were taken at study's start and at the third year of
cardiovascular event. Blood levels of Omega-3 Fatty Acids (DHA-EPA,)
linolenic acid and alpha linolenic acid from the heart attack patients
were compared to their matched control subjects.

Researchers concluded:

- Higher intake of DHA and EPA (Omega-3 Fatty Acids) is associated
with a significantly lower risk of fatal heart attacks.

- Higher intake of alpha linolenic acid also appears to be associated
with a lower risk of fatal heart attacks.

- Neither was associated with non-fatal heart attacks.

pp. 319-25.

III. Omega-3 and Omega-6 Study . . . Fewer Dangerous Plaques With Fish
Oils . . .

A study conducted in England involved 162 patients who were to undergo
carotid artery surgery. Split into three groups, they received either
sunflower oil (omega-6), fish oil (omega-3) or a control group of
neither. Average duration of treatment was 42 days.

Researchers concluded that reductions in non-fatal and fatal
cardiovascular events associated with increased omega-3 fatty acid
intake." Reference: Lancet (Feb. 8, 2003). Vol. 361 (9356) pp.
477-85.
