'Some people just don’t like fish. And they’re not going to eat it, and they may be the ones who would benefit the most from an Omega-3 supplement.'
Photo-Illustration: by Preeti Kinha; Photos: Getty Recently a woman approached my friend at the dog park to suggest that she feed her dog more Omega-3s, specifically in the form of sardines. Another friend takes fish-oil pills , and a third friend claims her cat’s dandruff disappeared after she started squirting fish oil into her food. I buy eggs fortified with Omega-3s, although I’m not completely sure why.
I spoke with Manson about what qualifies as low fish intake, who — if anyone — might stand to benefit from taking fish-oil pills, and whether to keep buying Omega-3-enriched eggs . Right. We tested supplementation with one gram of Omega-3s a day — this contained both EPA and DHA forms of Omega-3s, with the ratio of EPA to DHA being 1.3 to 1.
Your study found that among African-Americans, taking a fish-oil pill — the Omega-3 supplement — was associated with a 77 percent reduced likelihood of having a heart attack. That seems huge. A recent Johns Hopkins meta-analysis on dietary supplements found that the “vast majority of dietary supplements don’t improve heart health or put off death.” But they did find that among certain studies of Omega-3 supplementation, there was a modest benefit.
