But STS the FDA pretty much already permits these types of claims for omega-3's. You wrote:

"I have no doubt that if/when R-IT is a success AMRN legal team starts searching online for high purity EPA DS websites and immediately starts filing complaints with FDA and FTC for improper/illegal advertising mentioning anything related to "heart healthy", let alone "preventative", if DS is dumb enough to actually go that far."

The FDA now permits this statement:

“Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.”

On September 8, 2004, the FDA announced that it would allow an expanded health claim on products containing the omega-3 fatty acids eiscosopentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

According to Acting FDA Commissioner Dr. Lester M. Crawford, “Coronary heart disease is a significant health problem that causes 500,000 deaths annually in the United States. This new qualified health claim for omega-3 fatty acids should help consumers as they work to improve their health by identifying foods that contain these important compounds (EPA and DHA).” The FDA went on to recommend that consumers not exceed more than 3 grams per day of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids, with no more than 2 grams per day derived from a dietary supplement.
