Omega-3 intake reduces cardiac death risk according to comprehensive new study

(GOED) Results from a new study showed that in 14 randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) of 71,899 people, consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3s reduced the risk of cardiac death by a statistically-significant average of 8 percent. This is the first published meta-analysis to include cardiac death (also known as 'coronary mortality') as a primary endpoint, and the most comprehensive review of the evidence to date.
