Fish oils may hold key to cutting deaths from heart disease
Heart patients are being asked to eat more fish as part of a University of Edinburgh study in a study to see if improved diet can reduce the risk of coronary attacks. The study will look at the way fish and fish oil supplements could help reduce inflammation of the arteries and break down the blood clots which cause heart disease. The new study... view more...

Salmon go veggie to save wild fish stocks
Salmon, like humans, require omega-3 fatty acids in their diet to function healthily.
