Other Studies • The Zutphen study monitored 852 middle-aged men who had a history of good cardiovascular health for 20 years. • Those who consumed a little more than 2 fish meals (fatty type fish) a week had a 50% lower risk of cardiovascular health problems. • Many follow-up studies using both epidemiology studies and diet controlled studies followed. • Most showed a diet with as few as 1-2 fish (fatty type) meals a week had a significant reduction in the risk of cardiovascular health problems.(Am J Clin Nutr 65:1083-1086, 1997)
