The use of omega-3 fatty acids to reduce the risks of coronary artery disease is appealing because this product occurs naturally in fish oil. Many questions remain to be answered conclusively, however, including how much omega-3 fatty acid is needed to provide this theoretical protective effect. Suitable trials to determine whether commercially marketed fish oil capsules are of benefit to the general population have not been done. However, increased consumption of seafood seems appropriate even without definitive evidence of its benefits.
使用ω-3脂肪酸来降低冠状动脉疾病风险很有吸引力，因为这种产品天然存在于鱼油中。然而，仍有许多问题有待最终解答，包括需要多少ω-3脂肪酸才能产生这种理论上的保护作用。尚未进行适当的试验来确定市售鱼油胶囊对普通人群是否有益。然而，即使没有确凿的益处证据，增加海鲜摄入量似乎也是合适的。
