In a letter in this week's BMJ, Roger Harrison from Wigan and Bolton Health Authority and Michael Burr from the University of Wales College of Medicine comment on a study reporting that the benefits of a diet containing oil-rich fish for survivors of heart attack may exceed those from some pharma-cological regimens. In their study of 2033 male survivors of heart attack, deaths were reduced by one third among those who ate oil-rich fish on a regular basis. The authors of the letter point out that this simple and cheap dietary intervention was not found to have any important side effects.
