Milk to be fortified with heart-healthy fish oil

Researchers have introduced milk into the Omega-3 delivery system, incorporating fish oil into milk and dairy-based beverages in amounts sufficient to promote heart health, without destroying the product’s taste or limiting its lifespan. “We were concerned that the fish oil would undergo a chemical process called oxidation, which would shorten the milk’s shelf life, or the milk would acquire a cardboard or paint flavour by reacting with the fish oil. It appears we have a product that is stable, with no chemical taste or smell issues,” said researcher Susan E. Duncan.
