In 1960, Dutch researchers from the University of Leiden questioned 852 men and their wives about the men's diets and then monitored the men for the next twenty years. They found that the death rate from heart disease was more than 50 percent lower among men who ate at least thirty grams (one ounce) of fish per day compared with men who ate no fish. Just one or two fish dishes a week, the researchers say, "may be of value in the prevention of coronary heart disease."
