@slithrael @Drlipid This is long outdated/discredited stuff, #Omega3 does not increase bleeding: "Higher achieved omega-3 levels were associated with LOWER risk of bleeding" https://t.co/MR02DSLpRF Omega-3 also reduce #stroke risk (via different mechanisms): https://t.co/28OEeTrVzc

@ScepticalDoctor Agree. Not risk free. The a-fib risk consistent, but small. I believe the mechanism is not yet elucidated there. I’m a bit skeptical on the bleeding risk as data is mixed. See below omega 3s 8-10g/day before surgery including CABG followed by 2g/day. https://t.co/xgs2bxZ4ZQ

Study - Omega-3s do not increase surgical bleeding. Actually, higher EPA/DHA patients had a lower risk of bleeding. https://t.co/66Wdlidk4H. https://t.co/qpSLbRjMuH

@BioLayne I remember when my expert doc told me to stop taking Omega3 before my surgery. So I fact checked him, found the latest meta-analysis of all studies indicating that Omega3 was not associated with worse outcome of surgeries. Should I still listen to him? https://t.co/u1HKs6hM5V

While fish oil was previously thought to increase bleeding risk with surgery, it looks like fish oil actually protects against excess bleeding from surgery.. In randomized controlled trial of over 1500 people,... https://t.co/gq4IDy8vy6
