Default Charles Poliquin's New Article

I just glanced through Charles Polquin's new article and I noticed a misleading/incorrect statement that is important to note:

"4. Fish oils diminish C-reactive proteins..."

There is an epidemilogical study that shows that people that eat more fish have lower levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) HOWEVER data from randomized clinical trials (the "gold standard" of research) show that EPA/DHA have no effect on CRP (I wish it did). Alpha linolenic acid (ALA) as found in flax does have powerful CRP reducing effects.

Sorry if this is really science nerdy but I felt the need to point it out.
