I read about 2 studies just out on how fish oils with their omega-3 fatty acids helps in healing the body i.e. the heart and liver especially when inflammation is involved.

The first study here by the Columbia Institute of Human Nutrition shows that a diet high in fish oils prevents the accumilation of fat and plaque in the Aorta the main artery leaving the heart.
