What effect does Fish Oil have on LDL levels?

  1. May increase LDL up to 44%

  2. Decreases LDL significantly

  3. No effect on LDL

  4. Decreases LDL moderately

The correct answer is: May increase LDL up to 44%

Fish Oil can actually increase LDL levels up to 44%. While it may seem counterintuitive since fish oil is usually considered to be a healthy supplement, some studies have shown that taking fish oil supplements can actually have negative effects on LDL levels. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect as they all suggest that fish oil decreases LDL levels. However, it's important to note that the effect of fish oil on LDL levels can vary from person to person and further research is needed to fully understand the relationship between fish oil and LDL.
