REDUCED RISK OF CORONARY DISEASE

In 2005, the USA government released revised dietary guidelines that placed fish as an important part of ones daily diet. ’Evidence suggests an association between fatty acids and reduced risks of mortality from cardiovascular disease for the general population.’5

A study reported in the Journal Circulation suggested that sudden cardiac death reduced by as much as 50% in people with a modest intake of omega 3 fatty acids from fish rich in EPA and DHA (like salmon).6
