It's equivocal: It depends on what condition you have but larger metanalyses are suggesting they don't necessarily seem to be the wonder drug we all thought... Talk to your doctor for more specifics on your case.

Unclear: Over the decades, I have never believed these protect against atherosclerosis, and from my reading, most recently three of three big studies confirm this common-sense idea. They may be anti-inflammatory in arthritis.
