Yeah, there are defnly people guzzling fish oil on that assumption.

I would be cautious though -- it's a novel dietary regime, and seems likely to induce a lot of oxidative stress...

Certainly in mice it seems to.

From that study:

> It appears of utmost importance in medical and nutritional practice to formulate and handle n-3 PUFA-rich foods or supplements with the greatest care to avoid any PUFA oxidation. This can be particularly relevant in patients suffering from acute or chronic diseases who increase their n-3 PUFA intake because of their reported health benefits.
