Eating oxidized omega-3 fatty acids causes more harm to health than it provides benefit.
See the technical phrasing
Consuming oxidized omega-3 fatty acids results in greater health risks than benefits.
When omega-3 fats spoil, they break down into smaller toxic pieces that reduce the amount of healthy fats in the body and trigger harmful reactions in blood vessels. At the same time, the spoiled fats stop working to calm inflammation, so the body’s immune system stays activated longer than it should.
