Great information. Since statins, interfere with the way that cholesterol is absorbed, and your brain NEEDS cholesterol, it’s a great idea to avoid statin drugs anyway.

Omega 3 is simple, and simple works.

Many blessings.

“The Chair of the study, Dr. Luigi Tavazzi said ‘the advantage of Omega-3s is that they appear to have a beneficial effect on the mechanisms leading to the progression of heart failure.

Translation: They keep you from having a heart attack”
Though what you translate could well be true, the study talked of heart failure, not attacks. They are different things, actually.
That said, omega-3 FAs may well be as good as anything else to prevent heart disease from atherosclerosis.

Good point asithi.

I always look for products that have been tested by a third party for purity

I would like to add that the fish oil capsules form found in most drugstores are EPA and DHA. Be sure to buy omega-3 fatty acid supplements made by established companies who certify their products and are free of heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and cadmium.
