Heart failure risk lower in women who often eat baked/broiled fish

The American Heart Association just released the results of a study that looked at women who eat baked/broiled fish on a regular basis.

Here are some of the Study Highlights:

• The risk of developing heart failure was lower for postmenopausal women who frequently ate baked or broiled fish, but higher for those who ate more fried fish.
• Dark fish such as salmon was healthier for the heart than tuna or white fish such as sole.
• Eating fried fish one or more times per week was associated with a 48 percent higher risk of heart failure in postmenopausal women compared to those who ate it infrequently.
