Its a well know fact that arctic animals (particulary polar bears) contain completely unacceptable amounts of environmental toxins in their bodies. I study environmental science, please believe me on this one. I honestly wonder if inhuit nowadays stick to a completely traditional diet. Yes the Japanese eat alot of fish, but effects from environmental toxins won't show up as cancer (or whatever) for several decades *at least*. People who are 80 nowadays in Japan, simply wouldn't have had a lifetime of exposure to these toxins like we face today. As for Portugal, well I have been there and they don't seem to eat any more fish that we do in the Scandivania! And, moderation is key I feel.
I'm not against fish oil or eating fish, just remember that all good things come in moderation. If I could find organic salmon, I would happy to eat it 2-3 times a week.
