No doubt the recently presented abstract on fish oil will drive even more alternative medicine claims. The study currently preliminary:
HFSA: Fish Oil Benefits Early Heart Failure (CME/CE)
As always the data requires careful analysis and while superficially linking taking fish oil to reducing cardiac diseases but there are problems with this approach
– the study was arrows out on patients with Cardiomyopathy
– study is preliminary and yet to be reviewed and published in a peer review journal
While taking fish oil may not cause harm (apart from your wallet) linking this abstract for the purpose of selling more fish oil is a major part of the misleading activities that take place to confuse the general public and persuade them to buy unnecessary alternative therapies.
