Statins are the only drug known to increase AA production, and thus will increase the AA/EPA ratio(12). This would increase the risk of CHD. Hence the increasing use of statins may have eliminated all the benefits of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation.

Statins increase AA? Did we know this? I don't recall it being discussed here before. Don't like his conclusion on statins + O3's if it's true, even partially - would mean REDUCE-IT actually has some chance of not being the roaring success we think it will be? Or is he thinking the EPA + DHA + statin = canceled benefits?
