The Cochrane review on omega-3 fats in 2004[1] didn't find any clear benefit concerning Mortality/Cardiovascular problems/Cancer.

Follow-up studies, such as this 12,000 person RCT [1], have not been any more favorable towards omega-3 fatty acids.

When my patients ask me if they should take omega-3 capsules, I tell them that it depends on whether they enjoy paying for them. (Some do.)
