Tricia Li,Jamal S. Rana,JoAnn E. Manson,Walter C. Willett,Meir J. Stampfer,Graham A. Colditz,Kathryn M. Rexrode,Frank B. Hu +7 more

Dariush Mozaffarian,Alberto Ascherio,Frank B. Hu,Meir J. Stampfer,Walter C. Willett,David S. Siscovick,Eric B. Rimm +6 more
TL;DR: n-3 PUFAs from both seafood and plant sources may reduce CHD risk, with little apparent influence from background n-6 PUFA intake, which has implications for populations with low consumption or availability of fatty fish.
