WASHINGTON Two new studies show that people who eat substantial amounts of oily fish are greatly protected from sudden, unexpected death, a common condition usually caused by severely abnormal heart rhythms..The studies - which both draw their conclusions from long-term observation of tens of thousands of people - greatly bolster the evidence that eating fish regularly can have major health benefits..While most of earlier studies involve only men, one of the new studies demonstrates fish's benefit in women..The benefit for both men and women appears to come mostly from fish's effect on the risk of sudden cardiac death, although in the study involving women fish protected against nonfatal heart attacks, too.
