The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
but i agree with you the strength trial you were talking about that's right that was halted early yeah yeah so it might be that four grams of epa in that concentrated form is the way to go in a super high risk person for cardiovascular disease
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.

now was that a high dose of epa or was that epa and dha combined it was predominantly a high-dose epa although i i think there was dha in it the predominant form that was given was epa and what was the dose that was four grams omega three yeah i think you're right i think it was probably about three grams and one gram is my recollection
why did strength which was a bigger study than reduce it but in virtually the same kind of patient high cardiovascular risk high triglycerides on statins that's everybody had to be in there 13 000 people worldwide and placebo was corn or was olive oil i believe stripped olive oil they found no effect at all they stopped the study early as a matter of fact for futility
