Hallelujah Acres Omega 3 Fat Study

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Omega 3 Fat Status

In brief

This research is being done to study the effect of taking flax seed oil and fish oil on blood lipids in vegetarians following the Hallelujah Diet. Omega 3 fats are important to our health and we want to see how effective both flax seed oil and fish oil are in raising your Omega 3 Score (higher is better). The Omega 3 Score is one of many indicators that may show your personal risk of dying suddenly from a heart attack.
