My only concern is that Lovaza is an ethyl ester - I guess that is how they concentrate the fish oil.  I thought I read somewhere that ethyl esters are not necessarily heart healthy.  I'm sure someone can provide the citation to support that statement, assuming it is true.

 the effects of Lovaza are inferior to that of standard fish oil. There are no head-to-head comparisons of Lovaza, an ethyl ester derivative of omega-3 fatty acids, with non-esterified versions commonly sold. My prediction is that we will never see published data making the comparison.


 My bottom line view: Lovaza is a rip-off. The only reason to take it is to dump your costs onto other people, called "health insurance."
