LONG-TERM INTAKE OF FISH OIL INCREASES OXIDATIVE STRESS AND DECREASES LIFESPAN Tsuduki et al. studied mice that age at an accelerated rate (1-year lifespan) and show the same learning and memory devicits, increase in anxiety, and immune system impairment commonly seen in aging humans. The mice were fed a 10% safflower oil diet or 5% safflower oil diet with 5% fish oil from birth until death. The safflower oil mice lived an average of 56.3 weeks and the fish oil group lived an average of 48.4 weeks. In human terms it would correlate to a 72-year life expectancy compated with a 61-year lifespan.
