Larry, thanks again for your most informative posting.
You had mentioned having sufficient fat with my meal and omegabrite. Given that I'm a semi-vegetarian (therefore low fat intake), what would you suggest? a gulp of flax oil? olive oil? (Your comment implies that the fish burps are an indication that I'm not fully absorbing, and getting the benefits of the omegabrite).
By the way, what brand and quantity do you take? (IF you're reluctant to promote a brand, at least what is the makeup? is it straight fish oil? (which I believe is a 2:1 ration EPA/
DHA). And is it your feeling that my current 7:1 product is underestimating the value of DHA?
Reflecting on your heart disease section: I have semi-high cholesterol, and semi-high CRP (c-reactive protein). (a recent finding was that high crp is higher in the depressed population). Is there a negative impact on fish oil absorption, should I someday add a statin drug for cholesterol/crp? (I minimize risk with very low saturated fat intake, and vigorous exercise).
