A new study published in journal Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes & Essential Fatty Acids explains that consuming excessive omega-3 fatty acids are not good for our health. If it is consumed in excessive amount it might lead to bad health and result in undesirable situations. This research further explains the amount Omega-3 fatty acid to be consumed by an individual. The excessive in-take can cause many serious problems. It can be termed as the slow poison for the consumers.The co-author of the research, Norman Hord, associate professor in OSU's College of Public Health and Human Sciences explains, “What looked like a slam dunk a few years ago may not be as clear cut as we thought. We are seeing the potential for negative effects at really high levels of omega-3 fatty acid consumption.”
