Heartbeat. Really?
Yes. The Journal of Nutrition* reports that DHA, 'one of the two
principal ingredients in fish oils,] "....prevents cardiovascular
disease.... 'and] also prevents cancer and other geriatric diseases....

metabolism." 're: diabetes.]
DETAILS: If you take fish oil capsules, be sure to keep them in the
freezer. They do spoil, just as fish does.
