Olive Oil Reduces Endothelial Dysfunction from Particulate Matter!

Short-term exposure to ambient particulate matter was negatively correlated with poor markers for endothelial function. Supplementation with olive oil reduced the negative effects of particulate matter on endothelial function compared to supplementation with fish oil.

The Touted Hype of Fish Oil Is Losing Its Luster!

But what does the science say? A systematic review and meta-analysis published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, highlighted in my video Is Fish Oil Just Snake Oil? looked at all the best “randomized clinical trials evaluating the effects of omega-3’s on lifespan, cardiac death, sudden death, heart attack, and stroke.” The studies told the subjects to either eat more oily fish or to take fish oil capsules. What did the study find? Overall, the researchers found no protective benefit for all-cause mortality, heart disease mortality, sudden cardiac death, heart attack, or stroke.
