In reply to Fish Oil Supplement May Be Safer Than Eating Fish, posted by SLS on January 31, 2005, at 17:48:19
SLS, or anyone:
The end of this fish oil study has this statement:
"Previously, the authors reported nonsignificant amounts (less than 12 µg/L) of mercury in 5 brands of fish oil: Omega Brite, Nordic Ultimate, Sundown, Kirkland, and CVS."
I am no expert on mercury levels, but, for someone taking large amounts of fish oil via capsules every day, could these levels quoted rise to "significant amounts," amounts that would affect the health of the user? I have just gave up on another monthlong try of Dr. Stoll's Omegabrite product at five capsules (about 2 grams) of fish oil a day. Every time I have given fish oil a trial, it has done nothing, nada, zil for me. No decreaes in depression, anxiety, OCD, worrying. I just wonder, if, in the end, fish oil is really a safe option, even if it is "purified" and "tested" and blah blah blah. Anyway, anyone have any thoughts on this issue?
Thanks,
Chris
