Recently was hospitalized for chest pain with no diagnosis of a cardiac event. The first time I got my daily meds MD had ordered fish oil, presumably to address slightly elevated chol. Disappointing to get better medical advice from Twitter.

The tweet and article would be better if they clarified no benefit with respect to vascular disease specifically. There are other (e.g. psychiatric) reasons people take fish oil that are not addressed in the meta-analysis.

Talk to
@stevennovella if you don't like it. He wrote the post, and he's the one blogger for@ScienceBasedMed I don't generally edit.

Just finished the 5 yr VITAL study-seems I was on placebo vit D & real omega 3. No fishy odor, or taste (tho I was asked abt it in the questionnaires & thot I was on placebo). BTW...after LDL went over 175, I decided a bit of lipitor was probably ok. Awaiting trial results ;)
