The large-scale study involved over 200,000 participants and analyzed over 7 million genetic variants. The findings suggest that the conversion of fish oil to circulating omega-3s differs among ...

A team of researchers from Sweden, the U.K and the U.S., has found that release of hatchery-reared smolts in Sweden has led to a reduction in diversity in Baltic salmon. In their paper published in ...

About 19 million U.S. adults take fish oil supplements, often to protect against chronic diseases. But new research suggests their ability to lower colon cancer risk may depend on a single gene.
