Fish Oils For Obesity, Heart Disease, Cancer, Allergies and Irregular Heartbeat

A Food For Obesity, Heart Disease, Cancer, Allergies and Irregular Heartbeat. Really?
Yes. The Journal of Nutrition* reports that DHA, 'one of the two principal ingredients in fish oils,] "....prevents cardiovascular disease.... 'and] also prevents cancer and other geriatric diseases.... and allergic reactions."

And more. "DHA prevents hyperglycemia.... and is important in glucose metabolism." 're: diabetes.]

DETAILS: If you take fish oil capsules, be sure to keep them in the freezer. They do spoil, just as fish does. Always take a small vitamin E (100i.u.) whenever you take fish oils capsules. Fish oils and other highly unsaturated oils oxidize readily. The E will help to prevent that.
