No Response To Omega – 3 Fats From The Part Of Heart Patients

As according to some studies, the omega – 3 fatty acids were seen as aiding the patients that were having some heart problems, according to the latest news, no different result was seen in those that ate margarine with added omega – 3 fats and those that did not.

This under no circumstance means that adding some essential nutrients has no value at all, but it means that as for the heart patients concern, “adding a little bit of omega-3 fatty acid does not seem to make a difference,” said Alice Lichtenstein, a Tufts University nutrition professor, who was not involved in the research.

As it was demonstrated that omega – 3 has a good effect on human heart, more and more such foods were added omega – 3 fats in order that more and more people bought it.

There are three types of omega – 3 fatty acids that come from natural from the wild oily fish – salmon, mackerel and tuna, and the third type comes from different plants, such as walnuts, flaxseeds, soybeans and as well canola oil. Under no circumstance does the results of this trial changes the fact that people are expected to eat around two days per week, fish as it is by no means healthy.

The meeting of the European Society of Cardiology in Stockholm, last Sunday, was the moment when the results of this study were presented. In this study there participated a number of 4,837 heart attack survivors from Netherlands that were aged between 60 and 80 years old. In this study they were put to eat one or four types of margarine, that which contained omega – 3 fatty acids etc.

The ate around 4 teaspoons of margarine per day and as the study lasted for three and a half years, 14 % of the patients involved discovered having a heart problem and some of them even died.

This is not a general belief, as a doctor from the Mayo clinic, prefers to believe that the dose was too small and the experience began at a too old age in order that the patients could actually have a better reaction to eating it. Moreover, this should have been something that was administered twice a day.

The margarines was provided by the Unilever company, which actually makes and omega – 3 enriched margarine.
