The standard model of essential fatty acids is rapidly changing, due to emerging scientific evidence from the University of Cambridge.

"Two types of omega-3 fatty acid found in oily fish – EPA and DHA – and the omega-6 fat arachidonic acid were linked to a lower risk of heart disease."

"Two types of omega-3 fatty acid found in oily fish – EPA and DHA – and the omega-6 fat arachidonic acid were linked to a lower risk of heart disease. But omega-3 and omega-6 supplements appeared to have no benefit."

Ouch. I really do wonder why this is the case, especially with regard to fish oil in phospholipid or triglyceride form. It could be related to the fact that EPA/DHA/ARA are provided as free acids or esters in supplements.

Also interesting is:

"a dairy fat called margaric acid ‘significantly reduced’ risk"


Good post, good study too

Wow, very surprised in regards to ArA since in the mainstream it's been seen as a negative health factor.

Insulin is inflammatory. The trick is overall diet high in nutrients not a single nutrient...

ArA ingested in a ****ty diet doesn't make ArA "good for you" or anything for that matter...
