This doesn’t make a great deal of sense. My grandparents were having a great deal of time getting cholesterol under control until the doctor tried fish oil, and it made a world of difference.
Of course, it isn’t just “fish oil” - it is the Omega 3s - watch the concentration of what you buy. The milligrams of “fish oil” does not equal more Omega 3s - look for how much Omega 3 is in them.
Fish oil is also not the only source of Omega 3s, however.
It has never been claimed (by any reputable source) that Omega 3s treat Hypercholesterolemia. They do reduce triglycerides effectively.
Correct. FLAXSEED OIL is also a great source of it. A friend of mine had Lasik and every eye doctor recommended it highly as there are conditions that make your eyes dry out and omega 3/flaxseed oil takes care of that. It worked for him.
A month ago, some clowns said eggs are bad for you. What’s next, water gives you cancer?
“Of course, it isn’t just “fish oil” - it is the Omega 3s”
There’s a world of difference between whole Omega 3s and Omega 3s that have oxidized - gone rancid.
If you’re finding yourself burping fishy smells, you can be sure that your fish oil tablets have gone rancid - and rancid oils not only aren’t protective, they make things worse.
And it wouldn’t take a very large proportion of the study participants to have been taking fish oil pills that had gone rancid to mask whatever benefit that the non-rancid pills were providing.
