Omega-3’s are polyunsaturated fats (actually good fats - meaning they are fats that don’t contribute to heart disease) found in fish, fish oil and supplements.  In fact, some say that omega-3’s might have the reverse effect on heart disease, by improving your lipid profile.

A recent article from About.com: Cholesterol reviews current research on omega-3’s and discusses where to get them, how much to take, and why you should take them. Check it out at About.com.
