"Despite intriguing findings that omega 3 fatty acid supplements could alleviate depression symptoms, there is still not enough evidence to say whether omega 3s are useful treatments for people with bipolar disorder, according to a review of recent studies.

Companies that manufacture the supplements, along with government and charity funding, supported some of the studies considered for the review. Montgomery and Richardson have worked as consultants to several fatty acid supplement companies, the review disclosed."

More conflicts of interest getting press.
