<p>I think the way to approach this is to ask your doctor. You are unlikely to be able to get really good, up-to-date info from the Internet or from TV. Your doctor, if he or she is any good, will be keeping up with real, peer-reviewed professional literature on these kind of subjects. I think, from what I’ve heard, that fish oil may be about to go the way of niacin, but I’m not sure. The best you can do is find somebody you trust and take their advice.</p>
