Fish 'may cut' stroke risk – supplements don’t
Conclusion This is a well conducted review that has combined all available observational studies and clinical trials looking at the association between fish consumption or omega-3 fatty acid (fish oil) supplements and risk of stroke.

Neither observational studies nor clinical trials found any significant effect of omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil) supplements on risk of stroke. No clinical trials had investigated the effect of dietary fish consumption on ris...
