Oops: PUFAs may actually increase risk of death in patients with heart disease

Dietary advice about fats and the risk of heart disease is called into question on bmj.com today as a clinical trial shows that replacing saturated animal fats with omega-6 polyunsaturated vegetable fats is linked to an increased risk of death among patients with heart disease.

The prof interviewed, Philip Calder, seems to have publications saying n-3 is good

and others saying n-6 is bad.

How would you criticize that study? I only have access to the abstract. Did they control for the fact that mothers taking n-3 might be healthier for other reasons (takes discipline to eat fish and avoid junk food)?
