These two omega-3 oils have an effect which has not been found in any others: they keep blood triglyceride levels low. In addition, some studies have shown that fish oil may help to prevent cancer.1 Fish oil also appears to be beneficial to patients with heart disease2 and diabetes.3 Most people do not get enough omega-3 oil in their diets.
