This is from the American Heart Association Website: Fish and Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Fish is a good source of protein and, unlike fatty meat products, it’s not high in saturated fat. Fish is also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids benefit the heart of healthy people, and those at high risk of — or who have — cardiovascular disease. Research has shown that omega-3 fatty acids decrease risk of arrhythmias (abnormal heartbeats), which can lead to sudden death. Omega-3 fatty acids also decrease triglyceride levels, slow growth rate of atherosclerotic plaque, and lower blood pressure (slightly).
Later on their site it talks about eating fish and the worry of contamination of toxins and how you should eat fish more but not too much.
I have two solutions. 1. Buying fish from a trusted source Vital Choice is certified to be pure. When you order use my referal number 1761. I purchase my Salmon, Haddock, Shrimp and the Best tasting canned Albacore Tuna. The website is also packed with other seafood and organic nuts, frozen fruits and wonderful products. Shipped to your door on dry ice. I have used these products for years and can attest to their quality. Go to www.vitalchoice.com use 1761 as my referral or affiliate number. 2. If you don't like fish or seriously will not eat fish several times a week, then a supplement is good. My store at www.mynsp.com/caroltreasures has Omega 3 supplements, Krill Oil and Flax Seed oil. I believe in Omega 3 and the essential fatty acids so much I take the daily supplement and also eat fish from Vital Choice as often as I can. Be Well!
