Mainstream Medicine Now Trumpets Omega 3 Oils for Cardiovascular Disease

I have been touting the extreme cardiovascular health benefits of omega 3 oils¹ for cardiovascular health, especially DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement., for over two decades.  It is now official, mainstream researchers proclaim that these oils “show great promise in primary and, particularly in secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. The most compelling evidence for cardiovascular disease benefits of omega 3 comes from 4 controlled trials of nearly 40,000 participants randomized to receive eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA Eicosapentanoic acid. Type of long chain essential fatty acid - Omega 3 oil. Works in concert with DHA. Must gotten through food sources such as deep cold water fish or some limited plant sources or taken as a supplement. ) with or without docosahexaenoic acid (DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement.) in studies of patients in primary prevention, after myocardial infarction, and most recently, with heart failure (HF)… The target EPA Eicosapentanoic acid. Type of long chain essential fatty acid - Omega 3 oil. Works in concert with DHA. Must gotten through food sources such as deep cold water fish or some limited plant sources or taken as a supplement. + DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement. consumption should be at least 500 mg/day for individuals without underlying overt cardiovascular disease and at least 800 to 1,000 mg/day for individuals with known coronary heart disease and HF.”

These fish oil amounts don’t apply to the total amount of fish oil in a capsule, but rather to the active part of that oil like DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement..

The quality of health of millions of Americans, as well as future health care costs, hinges on following this advice.
