There's, like you mentioned, the leukotrienes and prostaglandins, and these things are being affected by EPA, and they do affect platelets and platelet aggregation, and they do affect that whole pathway as well.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

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.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
is the consensus view that EPA is a quote-unquote heart healthy oil yes and yeah you could say the same it would for DHA in my view but yeah EPA is heart healthy it's it's mechanisms by which it is heart healthy are multiple and they include being converted into against some metabolites some prostaglandin type molecules that make the platelets the blood platelets less likely they get sticky and so there's a reduced it's kind of like taking aspirin without some of the side effects of aspirin so that's one of the arms of the benefit
