Study Reveals Potential Heart Risks of Fish Oil Supplements

A new study suggests that fish oil supplements may increase the risk of heart attack and stroke among healthy individuals, while potentially benefiting those with existing heart disease by slowing its progression and reducing mortality risk. Researchers analyzed data from over 415,000 participants and found conflicting results, indicating that the effects of fish oil on heart health are not universally good or bad and depend on individual health conditions and supplement formulations. Experts recommend getting omega-3s from food sources and consulting healthcare providers before using supplements.
