I'm satisfied that the industry has adopted Good Manufacturing Practises, and that toxin burdens are reduced in so far as it is practical to do so. http://tinyurl.com/43qjy I also eat a fair amount of fish. I've never tried high-EPA oils, so I have no idea of their effect on me.
Fish and/or fish oil confer resiliency on me. Considering how hard it is to measure such a construct, short-term supplementation trials would almost certainly fail to detect the subtle character of this trait.
It's also important to recognize that oxidative stress has a role to play in PUFA metabolism, so antioxidants should be increased simultaneously with increased PUFA intake. That would be the inter-related core group of mixed tocopherol vitamin E, vitamin C, and alphalipoic acid, along with selenium and zinc.
