Fish oil contains a special type of unsaturated fat called omega-3. Research has shown that fish oil may be effective in counteracting a high-cholesterol diet by lowering blood levels of very-low-density cholesterol and triglycerides. There seems to be no disagreement that fish is good food, but most authorities, including The American Heart Association and The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, strongly recommend that you get fish oil from fish rather than through the use of fish-oil capsules.
The latest research hasn’t show how much fish oil you need to get the beneficial effects, but there are indications that certain doses of fish oil may be harmful. In any event, eating fish as much as three times a week may indeed be good for you, but since precise dosages are not known, it’s best that you avoid fish-oil capsules, and get youi oil strictly from the fish.
