I thought since so many of us are consuming massive amounts of fish oil I should post this article. I haven't had time to explore the issue and whether or not its a real concern, but I think it's worth looking into.
Note also that a lot of the ones they point out are cod liver oil - and that has a really different nutrient profile than fish liver oil. And quite a distinct flavor (I've only had the liquid, not the capsules).

ReplyDeleteYeah, kind of scary since we all take so much. Patrick posted a link awhile back to check your fish oil against, but I don't remember what it was.
