I should have pointed out that the headline I put is linked to the article. Excerpt below concludes that the more omega-3 the better within the ranges tested and that to get really effective amounts people should consider supplementing to get to 1,000-2,000 mg. You'd need to eat at least a can of sardines every day or two small cans of mackerel or salmon to get to 1,000 mg by my rough reckoning. Double that if you want to get to 2,000 mg (more is better) No way you'd get anywhere near optimal by eating lamb or the rest. Fish only get omega-3's from eating algae, they don't make it themselves. For roughly $1.50 a day you can supplement with DHA/EPA rich algal oil and get your optimal amount.From ABC: Fish has levels of about 200 milligrams of omega-3 per 100 grams, scientists have boosted the levels in lamb to between 30 and 40 milligrams per serve, and hope to double it again in the future.From the article:Cardiovascular benefits appear to increase with dosage. The researchers found that adding an extra 1000 mg of EPA and DHA per day decreased the risk of cardiovascular disease and heart attack even more: risk of cardiovascular disease events decreased by 5.8 percent and risk for heart attack decreased by 9.0 percent. The study looked at dosages of up to 5500 mg/day.“People should consider the benefits of omega-3 supplements, at doses of 1000 to 2000 mg per day – far higher than what is typical, even among people who regularly eat fish,” added Dr. Lavie. “Given the safety and diminished potential for interaction with other medications, the positive results of this study strongly suggest omega-3 supplements are a relatively low-cost, high impact way to improve heart health with few associated risks and should be considered as part of a standard preventive treatment for most patients with cardiovascular diseases and those recovering from myocardial infarction.”[ATTACH=full]111890[/ATTACH]
