Permission to chow down! The latest nutrition indicates that this popular supplement may be a colossal waste of money and time...
So, if you want to get plenty of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids in your diet, it looks like you may want to eat fish now and then. After a recent major review of research, scientists report that spending money on fish oil supplements may not only be a waste of money but also a waste of time.
According to the New York Times: "The data showed that eating two to four servings of fish a week reduced stroke risk by 6 percent compared with eating one serving or less, and having five servings a week reduced the risk by 12 percent. But the results of the randomized trials that had used omega-3 supplements showed no significant effect on risk."
Another example of how eating real food is so much better for you than popping a pill!
Do you take omega-3 supplements?
P.S. Speaking of fish, make this amazing aioli to serve with it. And, I love this chard-wrapped citrus salmon...
