Fish Oil and Heart Disease – Are there Benefits or Not?
By Alan Glender

Supplementation with fish oil is becoming more popular over time, and there is a good reason why. It may be one of the more useful and effective supplements in relation to cardiovascular health. In several studies, sometimes contradictory evidence has been shown, but ultimately it appears the evidence for the usefulness of fish oil may be strong. In this article, I’ll show you the recent evidence and its supporting conclusions.

In a study published in the Journal of the American Medial Association involving over 84,000 nurses, researchers kept track of the women over the course of several years. At the end of the study, women who had not developed heart disease all had higher amounts of fish oil in their diet than those who did. This may be some of the better evidence that fish oil, and the omega-3 fatty acid contained in it, does what supplement manufacturers says it does. Another fairly recent study supports this.

The most beneficial effect may be found in the particular kind of omega-3 present in fish oil supplements. In a 2000 study, over a thousand men were studied and those who had the highest levels of the omega-3 known as DHA, abundant in fish oil, had almost a sixty seven percent less chance of having a coronary event. This would seem to indicate a good probability that fish oil is beneficial to cardiovascular health.

However, another study showed a caveat to this.

Some groups have shown a decrease in heart disease with fish oil, and others have not. In a systematic review published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, previously performed studies concluded a decreased risk of heart disease in high-risk individuals, but no change in those already in a low-risk group.

Even though the evidence still looks good, you may already be in a low-risk group of people, i.e. proper nutrition and exercise, and thus not gain any benefit from taking fish oil. Despite this, there is almost no doubt that fish oil is key to having a healthy heart, along with proper nutrition and exercise. It is not a miracle cure. I recommend increasing your intake of fish or adding a fish oil supplement to your diet.
