'
"In patients with triglyceride levels above 500 mg/dl, approximately
4 g/day of EPA and DHA reduces triglyceride levels 45% and very low-
density lipoprotein cholesterol levels by more than 50%. Low-density
lipoprotein cholesterol levels may increase depending on the baseline
triglyceride level, but the net effect of EPA and DHA therapy is a
reduction in non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level. '

The effect of fish oil from WalMart or any other source appears here
to Raise LDL levels while at the same time reducing CVD risk by
lowering the more predictive "but the net effect of EPA and DHA
therapy is a reduction in non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol
level"
