Jennifer Barrett of Pharmacy Times recently reported that American Heart Association published the findings of a new science advisory stating that there is not enough evidence to support that Omega-3 Fish Oil can prevent heart disease. However, Barrett writes, it may help to prevent death and hospitalization due to this disease.
“People in the general population who are taking omega-3 fish oil
supplements are taking them in the absence of scientific data that shows
any benefit of the supplements in preventing heart attacks, stroke,
heart failure or death for people who do not have a diagnosis of
cardiovascular disease,” David Siscovick, MD, MPH, chair of the writing
committee of the new science advisory published in Circulation, said in a press release.
