Earlier this year the British Medical Journal had an editorial that comprehensively reviewed the evidence to date that supports the use of aspirin for heart disease prevention. Another study in JAMA showed that fish oils have a blood-thinning effect similar to aspirin.

In yet a third study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, similar findings were reported along with the news that fish oil dramatically reduces rates of heart disease.

If you haven't read my updated information on the importance of finding high-quality fish oil please do.

The bottom line is that you need to be careful when choosing fish oil. It is important to find a high quality, pure oil, and one of the best ones out there is Carlson's brand. You can get it in just about any health food store or find Carlson's fish oil and cod liver oil in our "Recommended Products" section.

Further, those who are looking for a safe alternative to aspirin for heart health may want to try CardioEssentials. It contains a powerful enzyme called nattokinase, derived from the food natto, which has been used successfully for circulatory problems for decades -- and it's safer and healthier than aspirin.
