Optimal diets for prevention of coronary heart disease.
Frank B. Hu,Walter C. Willett +1 more
TL;DR: Substantial evidence indicates that diets using nonhydrogenated unsaturated fats as the predominant form of dietary fat, whole grains as the main form of carbohydrates, an abundance of fruits and vegetables, and adequate omega-3 fatty acids can offer significant protection against CHD.

A Systematic Review of the Evidence Supporting a Causal Link Between Dietary Factors and Coronary Heart Disease
TL;DR: The evidence supports a valid association of a limited number of dietary factors and dietary patterns with CHD, and only a Mediterranean dietary pattern is related to CHD in randomized trials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Health benefits and potential risks related to consumption of fish or fish oil.
TL;DR: Scientific data indicate that the consumption of fish or fish oil containing omega-3 PUFAs reduces the risk of coronary heart disease, decreases mild hypertension, and prevents certain cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death.

Effect of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid on oxidative stress and inflammatory markers in treated-hypertensive type 2 diabetic subjects
Trevor A. Mori,Richard J. Woodman,Valerie Burke,Ian B. Puddey,Kevin D. Croft,Lawrence J. Beilin +5 more
TL;DR: This study is the first report demonstrating that either EPA or DHA reduce in vivo oxidant stress without changing markers of inflammation, in treated hypertensive, type 2 diabetic subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two double-blind placebo-controlled pilot studies of eicosapentaenoic acid in the treatment of schizophrenia.
TL;DR: It is concluded that EPA may represent a new treatment approach to schizophrenia, and this requires investigation by large-scale placebo-controlled trials.

TL;DR: Fish oil or linolenic acid may serve as alternative sources of long-chain n-3 FAs, but further studies will be needed to document their hypolipidemic and/or antiatherogenic effects.
