They have shown that fish oil all on its own reduces the risk of heart disease or cardiac death by some insane number like 75%. Somebody, somewhere did a study on eskimos a long time ago before the fish oil and omega-3 craze hit the market. They showed that these people had a significantly lower body fat and a greatly higher lifespan then other people in the same area mainly because their diet consisted of fish. Now fish oil, multivitamins, along with a low fat and low salt diet is key with most heart patients.
