[10-7] HEALTHY LIVING: HEART HEALTH

DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)(OC): We have news about "Healthy Living" tonight, a big headline about [1]one of the most popular dietary supplements in the country.  The American Heart Association has long said that [2]eating oily fish is good for your heart.  So millions of people [3]take fish oil supplements hoping for the benefit, and, in fact, doctors often recommend the supplements for people who already have heart disease.  But [4]a big new study out tonight says those pills are not doing what they thought and here's ABC's Dr.  Richard Besser.

NARRATOR (COMMERCIAL): Fish oil may support heart health.

NARRATOR (COMMERCIAL): Promotes a healthy heart.

NARRATOR (COMMERCIAL): [5]Omega 3 supports a healthy heart.

DOCTOR RICHARD BESSER (ABC NEWS)(VO): $740 million, that's how much we spend on them a year.  Fish oil capsules, containing [6]the substance heart doctors swear by, omega-3 fatty acids.  Look at the bottles, the packaging says the capsules support a healthy heart, may reduce the risk of [7]coronary heart disease.  But today, [8]that groundbreaking new study says the proof is in and fish oil capsules don't [9]deliver on their promise.

DOCTOR RICHARD BESSER (ABC NEWS)(VO): Researchers looked at 20 studies on heart health, almost 70,000 patients altogether.

DOCTOR RICHARD BESSER (ABC NEWS)(VO): And say that overall people who took fish oil supplements died of heart disease or stroke [10]at the same rate as anybody else.  In short, no proven benefit.

DOCTOR HARLAN KRUMHOLZ (YALE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE): There's a lot of claims that are made about a lot of diets and supplements that just don't have the evidence behind them.

DOCTOR RICHARD BESSER (ABC NEWS)(VO): But eating fish itself that seems to help.  People who eat fish twice a week are less likely to have heart disease and less likely to die from it.  It's not clear why [11]getting omega-3s in food not pills makes a difference but it looks like it does.  One theory, that the body absorbs the omega-3s from fish in different way.  Another, people who eat fish do other healthy things, as well.  So if you're spending your money to take fish oil capsules to protect your heart, it may be better to [12]put that money towards a nice piece of salmon.  Dr.  Richard Besser, ABC News, New York.

DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)(OC): And Rich is here now.  You're always warning us, cautioning us about those supplements.

DOCTOR RICHARD BESSER (ABC NEWS)(OC): That's right.  You know, I am, because [13]very little about supplements is proven because unlike drugs, it doesn't have to be.  If you look at the bottle and you look at any health claim, [14]there's a little asterisk after the claim and here's what it says on the back.

DOCTOR RICHARD BESSER (ABC NEWS)(VO): "These statements have not been eval‎uated by the Food and Drug Administration.  This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease."

DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)(OC): All they need to prove is that it's safe, not that it works.  And so I tell people to try and [15]get their nutrition through food.  Unless your doctor tells you have a true nutritional deficiency, in my opinion this is not a good use of people's money.
