Considering doctors left and right are recommending massive doses of omega-3 to everybody and their cat, Big Pharma selling drugs that treat afib seems like the perfect conspiracy of &#8220;sell them the poison and then the remedy&#8221;. Hopefully, the study below should give serious pause to doctors recommending and patient considering taking omega-3 for heart health. It would be great if after this study its authors conduct another one with omega-6, but I suspect that would be too much for most scientific journals to swallow. After all, what would we do without those &#8220;essential fatty acids&#8221; if a study finds they are dangerous for our health. Well, stay tuned for another post on that:-)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1161.circulationaha.121.055654\">https:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1161.circulationaha.121.055654<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurekalert.org\/news-releases\/930790\">https:\/\/www.eurekalert.org\/news-releases\/930790<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;However, other <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>clinical trials conducted outside of Cedars-Sinai pointed to an elevated risk of developing atrial fibrillation in patients treated with omega-3 fatty acids<\/strong><\/span>, causing confusion among clinicians and patients alike.
