Too bad you can't eat more fish without ingesting toxic levels of mercury, pesticides, antibiotics and hormones! I take krill oil capsules from a reputable manufacturer for my omega-3's. Wild Alaskan salmon is the only relatively safe fish left. Farm-raised fish live in what can only be called chemical pond scum.
As we say in Alaska: "Friends don't let friends eat farmed fish".
Study funded by whom? I guess the pharm industry. Omega 3 fatty acids have great health benefits but the pharms and their supporters in congress do not want us to use a natural, safe product when we can buy drugs that will kill you. Example, statins- will the pharms tell you that there is a safe alternative to statins? hell no. they don't make big bucks with natural products. Believe it or not, my doctor told me about Red Rice Yeast for my cholestrol when I refused to take any statin make by the pharms. it worked and I lowered my cholestrol by over 100 points in 6 month without worry about liver damage. Cost to pharm, they got no $$ from me. cost to me - health. Take your Omega 3 fatty acids and Red Rice yeast and live well. Forget the Pharm's dangerous drugs with severe side effects. Reserve Pharm only till absoute needed and check up on the side effects. We shouldn't have to say. the drugs worked and cured the illness, too bad he died from the drug. Operation a success but the patient died.
Who ever wrote this artic is a dumbass, omega 3 are not only needed for heart health but general health as well, as they are usable fat rather than a storage fat like omega 6's.
The article is saying if you eat fish you may not need to spend the extra money for omega 3 capsules. Did not say omega 3 oil is not needed. As with anything we take, the key is taking the right amount.
