Fish Oil Is a Healthy Source Of Good Fat


Summary: A lot of people know that fish oil has good fat.  Researchers say that it can reduce fatty substances in people that have type to diabetes.  This has been tested on 40 different people.  They had 4 grams of fish oil.  And they did this for about 8 weeks long.  At the end, scientists got their answers.  It seems that fish oil reduced traicylglycerol in heart diseases.  They also saw that good cholesterol, also called HDL, went higher for those who had fish oil.  This is good for diabetics because they reduce fat in their cells.  The most natural way to get fish oil is by eating fish like mackerel and salmon. 

Critique: It is pretty amazing that scientists have found many different things in animals or in foods that help mankind get better when sick.  And for those diabetics out there, you may not like fish oil but it is good for you. 

Impact: I have never had fish before.  They look disgusting but they are actually good for us.  I don’t have diabetes, but if this stuff is good for me, I guess I should try it.  You should try it to.

  1. I thought that K2DA did a great job summarizing his topic, "Fish Oil is a Healthy Source of Good Fat". The information you told the reader was interesting, and factual. Having been tested on 40 people helps the reader relate through knowing that the study has worked on with several people. Relating the topic to diabetics was a great idea, because it shows that the test didn't just work with people who aren't diabetic but worked with people who are. Stating the reference was good, because it proves that the article is true. Overall the article was good, and gave me insight on fish oil.
