Q&A with Dr. Greger 7

What do I think of grass-fed beef or pasture-raised meat and dairy? Still has saturated fat, trans fats, cholesterol—things I just talked about that actually increase your LDL cholesterol... the leading risk factor for the number one cause of death in men and women.

A vegan diet is defined as not eating animal products ... That means you can live off of french fries and beer and cotton candy, and have a strictly vegan diet, and have a horrible diet.

I would not take EPA or DHA for cardiovascular disease prevention. However, EPA may indeed help with cognitive function later in life, which is why I recommend people consider it.
