Thinking about seafood this summer? Consider this:
Is fish healthy? Not always! A study shows that heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids are plentiful in fatty fish that are baked or boiled but not in fish that are fried, dried or salted. Men who consumed the most omega-3s—about 3.3 grams a day—had a 23 percent lower risk of cardiac death than those who got only 0.8 grams daily. Women did not show as much benefit unless they ate the fish along with greater amounts of tofu or shoyu, a Japanese soy sauce. The study was presented November 17 at the American Heart Association’s annual meeting in Orlando.
