This idea began with the Greenland Inuit who were noted to have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease.1 Indeed, the Inuit, with their high intake of long-chain omega-3s, have been noted to have a lower platelet count, reduced platelet reactivity, prolonged bleeding times and a lower ratio of proaggregatory thromboxanes versus antiaggregatory...
