*Cardiovascular Disorders : Alpha-linolenic acid has been found to be beneficial for the prevention and treatment of a variety of cardiovascular disorders including heart attacks and stroke. According to UMM, people who eat a diet rich in alpha-linolenic acid are less likely to suffer from a fatal heart attack. One study done on women found that those who consumed 1.5 g of ALA per day had a 46 percent lower risk of sudden cardiac death than those who consumed less than 1/2 g per day.
