Fish Oils
Against Diabetes
"'Large studies of] populations consuming high levels of 'omega3
fats] have relatively low incidences of Type 2 diabetes
whereas those with diets low in 'omega 3 fats] have a higher
incidence," begins a report* revealing that the DHA portion of these
fats may "improve insulin sensitivity," which would be highly
beneficial to diabetes patients. DHA is one of the two principal fats
along with EPA in fish oils.
