Yep. And Flax seed oil is very high in omega 3 oils and has also been proven to lower cholesterol.

Again, this so called study's agenda is transparent. Science has really been turned into a cheap whore by the left.

"and plasma triglyceride levels."

If true that's good for me, as I have rather high triglycerides, putting me at risk for pancreatitis, as well as a less-than-optimal balance of HDL and LDL.

The link between high trigylcerides and pancreatitis is fairly well established, but I remain doubtful about the rest of the "lipid hypothesis." There's so much politics and inertia in the medical community, especially when it involves so-called lifestyle diseases like heart disease, that it's hard to know who or what to believe.

I take the fish oil for this reason. I was diagnosed with very high triglycerides along with my Type II diabetes.

It seems to have helped lower the levels somewhat, but I'm also on medication for that purpose so not sure which is more beneficial.
