“…Using the most direct and effective physiologic measure, fish oil in the doses suggested is unequivocally shown to be an anti -antiaging substance, increasing vascular “biologic aging ” by over a decade—causing “hardening of the arteries”—compared to PEO consumption. Compared to taking nothing, fish oil decreased subjects' arterial compliance (a bad outcome), by nearly four years [ 60 ].…”

“…A seminal screening experiment was conducted in 2010 comparing the effectiveness of PEO in increasing arterial compliance (flexibility) against fish oil [ 60 ]. This is a broad-based population screening—the most realistic population to see effectiveness, if any.…”

“…Once the vascular system was back to “normal,” the expected improvement from PEOs, as shown by the other groups, was also achieved, which translated to an even greater decrease in biological age based on where they had started. Clearly, fish oil accelerates vascular aging [ 60 ]. Marine oils are an anti -antiaging substance.…”

The medical community suffered three significant fish oil failures/setbacks in 2013. Claims that fish oil's EPA/DHA would stop the progression of heart disease were crushed when The Risk and Prevention Study Collaborative Group (Italy) released a conclusive negative finding regarding fish oil for those patients with high risk factors but no previous myocardial infarction. Fish oil failed in all measures of CVD prevention—both primary and secondary. Another major 2013 setback occurred when fish oil's DHA was shown to significantly increase prostate cancer in men, in particular, high-grade prostate cancer, in the Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial (SELECT) analysis by Brasky et al. Another monumental failure occurred in 2013 whereby fish oil's EPA/DHA failed to improve macular degeneration. In 2010, fish oil's EPA/DHA failed to help Alzheimer's victims, even those with low DHA levels. These are by no means isolated failures. The promise of fish oil and its so-called active ingredients EPA / DHA fails time and time again in clinical trials. This lipids-based physiologic review will explain precisely why there should have never been expectation for success. This review will focus on underpublicized lipid science with a focus on physiology.
