Fish Oil Supplements May Help Fight Against Type 2 Diabetes

[Northerner]

Widely-used fish oil supplements modestly increase amounts of a hormone that is associated with lower risk of diabetes and heart disease, according to a study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM).

Fish oil supplements, also called omega 3 fatty acid capsules, raise levels of adiponectin in the bloodstream. Adiponectin is an important hormone that has beneficial effects on metabolic processes like glucose regulation and the modulation of inflammation. In long-term human studies, higher levels of adiponectin are associated with lower risks of type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease.

Right! So that's fish oil supplements too then! Personally, I'd prefer to stick with a piece of oily fish, but hey ho.

Along with everything else that I'd be eating to protect myself from this or that disease, I'd probably end up eating a balanced diet.

Well, blow me down. Who'd have thought it.
