> Have sardines for lunch. Seems simple enough. Unfortunately, it's not that simple. The EPA content is too low (depending on provenience, but you'd have to eat at least around 200g sardines every day to get the therapeutic dose), the processing and storage often oxidizes the EPA (making it counter-productive), the sardines may come in sunflower oil (with a high content of omega-6, the antagonist of omega-3), and then there's the high mercury load of eating fish (whereas good oils are cleaned of mercury).
So the problem would only be solved by making the bulk substance available for many patients -- the opposite of what Big Pharma is doing.
