Eating Fish Reduces Coronary Deaths by 36%


The Harvard School of Public Health has just released a study which states that that consumption of fish reduces the risk of coronary death by 36 percent and total mortality by 17 percent.

The Harvard study (to be published by the Journal of the American Medical Association) stated that the consumption of fish, especially those high in Omega-3's strongly outweighed the risks from contaminants like PCB's and dioxin.

"Seafood is likely the single most important food one can consume for good health," says the author of the study.
