No Further Trials Needed to Determine if Omega-3 Fats Reduce the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease and Death

Reduction in mortality due to cardiovascular issues was statistically significant with a relative risk of 0.937, CI 0.88-0.98, P=0.018. Is it time to put this decades-long debate to bed? We think so.
