Fish, Soy Oil Supplements May Cut Heart Death

It was a really small study, but the results are encouraging.
Fish, Soy Oil Supplements May Cut Heart Death: "researchers report in the April issue of Chest. Omega-3 fatty acids have been studied for their effects on heart health, depression, and arthritis.

This time, increased heart rate variability -- a marker of the changes in time intervals between heartbeats -- was noted in a small group of patients who tried fish oil or soy oil supplements for a brief time. Increased heart rate variability has been linked to a lower risk of sudden heart death."
