Omega-3 increase risk of atrial fibrillation (afib)

[haidut]

It looks like Big Pharma is just living the dream. Considering doctors left and right are recommending massive doses of omega-3 to everybody and their cat, Big Pharma selling drugs that treat afib seems like the perfect conspiracy of "sell them the poison and then the remedy". Hopefully, the study below should give serious pause to doctors recommending and patient considering taking omega-3 for heart health. It would be great if after this study its authors conduct another one with omega-6, but I suspect that would be too much for most scientific journals to swallow. After all, what would we do without those "essential fatty acids" if a study finds they are dangerous for our health. Well, stay tuned for another post on that

Omega-3 supplements could elevate risk of atrial fibrillation

"...However, other clinical trials conducted outside of Cedars-Sinai pointed to an elevated risk of developing atrial fibrillation in patients treated with omega-3 fatty acids, causing confusion among clinicians and patients alike. To further explore the potential reasons for differences between the results of these studies, Albert and team performed a meta-analysis, which combines the results of multiple scientific studies. This analytical comparison between studies suggested that the risk of developing atrial fibrillation is dependent on the dose of omega-3 fatty acids."

Lol! Fish oil is poison. I just read this in a Twitter thread a few days ago as well

It would be interesting to know if those getting side effects from the vaccine are taking fish oils also, many people young and old are consuming them without question, some parents even give them to their kids.

Even before we even get to vaccines, COVID-19 mortality is known to be affected by PUFA. So, if the vaccine more or less mimics the inflammatory reaction of a natural infection, it leaves little doubt that PUFA consumption is likely to be higher in those presenting with bad side effects to the vaccine (all other things being equal).

PUFA Exacerbate, Saturated Fats (SFA) / Albumin / Calcium Ameliorate COVID-19

A few months ago I posted about a study discussing the role of lipid peroxidation in the COVID-19 pathology. While that study did not make any statements about effects of diet on the disease course/outcome, it did suggest lipid peroxidation blockers such as vitamin E would be therapeutic. Now...
