Fish oil + Statin drugs = heart failure protection?

A new Japanese study suggests that those who take high doses of fish oil and statin drugs at the same time had fewer heart attacks and cardiovascular problems than those taking drugs alone.

Statins, commonly used to lower 'bad' cholesterol levels and keep those levels safe, are used by millions across the world to ensure their cholesterol levels stay within a normal range. Although there are many natural alternatives to keeping cholesterol levels healthy, pharmaceutical drugs are one of the most popular methods.

Adding a healthy dose of Omega-3 oil-containing fish oil would naturally seem to help high cholesterol sufferers keep cholesterol levels in check and help prevent heart failure, and it seems obvious that combining two cholesterol-fighting substances would produce better results that from a single method.
