Cholesterol has long been seen as a key culprit in cardiovascular disease. While it’s true that cholesterol does play a role, not all cholesterol is bad for us.
Here, we present all evidence on omega-3 fatty acids and polar lipids on their bioactivities against Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD).
N-3 fatty acids do NOT reduce the cardiovascular risk! In our latest paper (in review: Marine Drugs), we explain why N-3 fatty acids are NOT effective and we discuss the value of Polar Lipids.
Omega-3 studies are using 4000mg/day and yet there is no decrease in the cardiovascular risk.
It is safe to say that polar lipids are the food components with strong potential against CVD and hence our work in UL focuses further to this class of lipids.
