A cardiologist, two dietitians shared cautions, tips on fish oil supplements and new study: ‘More isn’t always better’
Taking fish oil supplements could raise the risk of heart attack and stroke, a new study suggests.
Among healthy people, regular use of fish oil was found to make them more susceptible to developing heart disease and stroke for the first time, the study found.
Among those who had existing heart disease, however, fish oil consumption was shown to slow the progression of cardiovascular disease and reduce the risk of mortality.
Researchers analyzed nearly 12 years of data for more than 415,000 participants from the UK Biobank study; the participants ranged in age from 40 to 69.
