Fish Oil Supplements Linked to Stroke and AFib Risk

Fish oil supplements, widely used for their omega-3 fatty acids, have been associated with both benefits and risks for heart health. Recent large-scale studies suggest that while fish oil may reduce the risk of heart attacks in some populations, it could increase the risk of atrial fibrillation (AFib) and stroke in healthy individuals without cardiovascular disease . Understanding these nuanced effects is crucial for making informed decisions about fish oil supplementation.
