A member asked:
Are omega-3 fatty acids good for me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: A very good question and one that is not easily answered. The one major point is that supplemental omega 3s have no significant value in reducing risk of heart disease or cancers and may increase the risk of prostate cancer.
