Summary: Eating seafood once or twice per week is shown to reduce the risk of heart disease in Western countries. Researchers tracked the diets of over 40,000 Japanese men and women for 10 years to determine if eating much more fish than a typical Western diet further reduces heart disease risk. Japanese participants who eat the most fish, about eight servings per week, have a 40 percent reduced risk for heart disease.
