New research from Case Western Reserve University (US) warns of a global shortage of omega-3, partly due to environmental factors of rising ocean temperatures, overfishing, and pollution. The team of researchers also notes that 85% of the world’s population doesn’t get enough omega-3 in their diets. Timothy Ciesielski, lead study author and a research scientist in the Department of Population and Quantitative Health Sciences at Case Western Reserve’s School of Medicine, says the findings concerningly present “serious and widespread health implications.”
