A new study warns of a frightening side effect of consuming “omega-3” fish oil

A new study warns of a frightening side effect of taking omega-3 fish oil supplements, which have many health benefits.

The study published by the European Society of Cardiology and published in the European Heart Journal found that fish oil can increase the risk of developing a certain heart rhythm disorder.
The study stated: “Although the nutritional supplement may or may not be able to help prevent heart disease, as some research indicates, it comes with its own risks, and specifically it can lead to atrial fibrillation.”

Atrial fibrillation is a condition in which the heart beats irregularly, which makes it five times more likely to have a stroke, and it may also put its owner at risk of developing blood clots, heart failure and other heart problems.

The new study also revealed that omega-3 fatty acids can particularly increase the risk of developing atrial fibrillation for those who were already at risk of developing heart disease.
