Back to the science for a second. Please excuse my naivete, but is it possible that it's the anti-inflammatory properties of EPA molecule that presents the best argument for CVD reduction, or is it the triglyceride lowering function? OR, is it perhaps EPA's anti-inflammatory properties that perhaps do double duty in reducing CVD and lowering triglyceride levels (regardless of their culpability in CVD)?

What prompted my question is my reading on how other drugs (birth control pills, diuretics and steroids) elevate triglyceride levels. I was thinking perhaps these kinds of drugs may have disruptive, and perhaps INFLAMMATORY effects on certain systems, with a resultant rise in triglycerides.

JL, others, I would love have your thoughts on this.
