 ===== Omega 3 fatty acids may cause disease =====
-  * **Mice given omega‐3's are more susceptible to pulmonary tuberculosis** – Bonilla //et al.// showed that  endogenous production of omega-3's in mice increases their susceptibility to tuberculosis, which they explained by noting the corresponding diminished activation and antimycobacterial responses in cells. The researchers concluded, "These data suggest that n‐3 PUFA–supplemented [dietary omega‐3 fatty acids] diets might have a detrimental effect on immunity to //M. tuberculosis// and raise concerns regarding the safety of omega‐3 dietary supplementation in humans."(({{pubmed>long:20053136}}))
