The new study found that that a moderate dietary intake of the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) were associated with a decreased prevalence of periodontitis of up to 20 percent.

That's encouraging news, periodontitis is one of the many complications that is rarely mentioned with regards to diabetes and not to many people are aware of this condition.
