Prof. Peter Clifton from the Baker IDI Heart Institute says updates in medicine have rendered fish oil useless when it comes to heart health.<\/p>\n
\u201c20 years ago there wasn\u2019t much in the way of statins (drugs that help lower cholesterol levels), ppeople didn\u2019t get stents put it, much less by-pass,\u201d Prof. Clifton told Jeremy Cordeaux on FIVEAA.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo now patients that have a heart attack have all of these thing plus a variety of drugs\u2026 and when you try and put fish oil on top of that, it does nothing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a bit weak. Whereas 20 years ago it actually had an effect.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prof. Clifton said the new thinking became apparent while examining every fish oil study from the last 10 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll of those studies, without exception, were all negative. Unlike the studies that were done 20 years ago or over 20 years ago, which were beneficial, all of the more recent ones have not a hint of benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n
