Is oily fish really healthy?

Category: Healthy LivingLIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) - Eating oily fish
may not be as good for you as doctors thought,
according to new research.A study does not find evidence of a clear health
benefit of the omega 3 fats found in fish such as
mackerel and salmon.The findings published online by the British
Medical Journal do not rule out an important
effect of the fatty acids, but suggest that the
evidence should be reviewed regularly, say
the researchers.Consumption of long chain omega 3 fatty acids,
found in oily fish and fish oils, and a shorter
chain omega 3 found in oily fish and fish oils,
and another type of omega 3 found in some
plant oils, is believed to protect against heart
disease.
Personally I would think it is dependent on how much PUFA you get
daily and overall ratio. If you get more than 10-15 g omega-3, the
downhill effects of EPA as a target for peroxidation and isoketal
formation and DHA's tendency to form isoneurals becomes dominant, and
more lesions becomes more important than the preventive effects of
omega-3 against formation of harmful omega-6 products.
