Eating seafood reduces risk for 'Sudden Death'

Eating seafood reduces risk for sudden death due to heart disease – the primary killer of Americans – by up to 90 percent say scientists and health care professionals, citing new research on the relationship between seafood consumption and human health.

Eating a small amount of seafood high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as shrimp, tuna, salmon, pollock and catfish daily can cut the risk of death due to heart disease by 20 percent, according to studies released at the Seafood and Health conference in Washington this week.
