We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.
saying that four grams a day is completely normal perhaps eight grams a day would be better and these doses have clearly been associated with increases in atrial fibrillation so let's just be very clear from the beginning of this section of the podcast fish oil is [ __ ] uh i would never take fish oil
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

there was a dose-related risk of atrial fibrillation with omega-3 fatty acid intake at a dose of four grams per day there was a highly statistically significant increased risk in uh in risk nearly a doubling with intermediate dose of 1.8 grams per day
you do not want to be pushing lots of omega-3s in your diet i think those calling for excess omega-3s lots of omega-3s in the diet need to answer to those concerns of mine and many others
there's good evidence from a um uh four studies that were done and this the review of these four studies uh on seed oils were published in jama um doses of two to four grams of fish oil per day were associated with increased rates of atrial fibrillation
notes four trials the strength trial the reduce it trial the omei trial and the vital rhythm study and he says consider together the data from the four trials suggest but do not prove there may be a dose-related risk of atrial fibrillation with omega-3 fatty acid intake at a dose of four grams per day there was a highly statistically significant increase risk in uh in risk nearly a doubling with an intermediate dose of 1.8 grams per day the increase in risk did not achieve statistical significance
there's multiple studies with editorials I think in jamama maybe in one of the Journal of American Cardiology journals showing clearly increased rates of atrial fibrillation and arhythmia in humans taking four grams of fish oil per day plus
analysis of multiple trials with omega-3 supplementation of high doses showing a significant signal toward increased atrial fibrillation cardiac arhythmia with 4 gr or more of fish oil per day
There's clear there's multiple studies with editorials I think in JAMAMA maybe in one of the journal of American Cardiology journals showing clearly increased rates of atrial fibrillation and arhythmia in humans taking four grams of fish oil per day plus
There's good evidence that at doses greater than four grams a day, these omega-3 fatty acids in fish oils increase the incidence of atrial fibrillation, which is a heart arhythmia.

where there was a small but yeah significant increase in atrial fibrillation right afib and um this was in people that already had pre-existing heart conditions right right
