Summary: An international analysis of 15 studies conducted in the United States, Europe, Japan, and China shows that people who eat fish a few times each week are less likely to have a stroke than those that eat little or none at all. The omega-3 fatty acids may lower stroke risks through their effects on blood pressure and cholesterol. The studies asked people how often they consumed fish, and then followed them between four and thirty years to see which people had strokes. The evidence suggested that about two or three servings of fish a week is enough to lower stroke risks. People who ate more fried fish and fish sandwiches did not receive the same benefits. However, the research can't prove that adding more fish to the foods you eat will keep you from having a stroke, it just lowers the risk. The American Heart Association already recommends that at least two servings of fatty fish, such as salmon, be consumed each week.
Critique: I think that this is cool. I really like fish and now I will be sure to eat more of it.
Impact: Strokes can be detrimental, so I think that anything you can do to lower the risk of having one is great.
