I take cod liver oil for the supposed health benefits but may ditch it after reading this. Do you guys take fish oil supplements?

Son of a bitch.

 

[Fox by the Sea]

Just eat fish and don't take that rancid oil in pill form.

Should still be fine for most Americans since they probabaly have heart disease.

I heard once Wine helped reduce heart disease . Since then I have started drinking wine and have not looked to see if thats been debunked an I never will.

Its disturbing how people believe anything on the internet. It wasn't long ago that making statements like this based on one "study" was unheard of because it wasn't validated.

 

[Madmick]

The study analyzed data on over 415,000 people ages 40 to 69 participating in the UK Biobank, a longitudinal study of the health of people in the United Kingdom. Nearly one-third of those people, who were followed for an average of 12 years, said they regularly used fish oil supplements.

In other words, this many not mean much.

We're taking people at their word, and we may be doing nothing more than establishing a correlation to affluence.

Just realize that 99% of "science" articles that are published are garbage and mean absolutely nothing for you in your daily life

That's nothing. You guys should really look into dihydrogen monoxide. It's everywhere in our lives and everyone who has ingested this chemical has or will die

I had a buddy of mine who stopped eating apples because he came across an article online saying that apples are actually bad for you... Some men you just cant reach.

My doctor just suggested I take fish oil/omega 3’s for high triglycerides. I’m not a big believer in supplements but I’ll experiment. If my #’s drop after 12 months I have some answers.

 

[Spounman]

Yeah I take it daily. I don't have a heart flutter (yet) as far as I know. I just had bloodwork done and I try to walk around 10k steps daily

This all day, if only people knew how that rancid oil is extracted the quality of the fish.

I am on a statin. The statin lowered my good cholesterol as well as bad. I added Omega 3 Fish oil 1200mg pills, once in AM once in PM. My good cholesterol went up to healthy levels, my triglycerides went down to healthy levels. My blood work and heart are great. Unless you eat high omega 3 laden fish 3-4x a week I suggest Fish Oil to everyone.

That was my thought too, but sometimes it’s hard to be sure of the quality of the fish. Wild salmon, definitely. But that farm-raised crap? Oof.

Wild salmon is like night and day next to the farmed crap it doesn't even look the same..... Just try to minimize your in take of farmed fish, buy whole fresh fish you can see how fresh it is and you can check how healthy it looks, gut it yourself and check the organs and gills.

Funny how everything suddenly increases risk of heart disease

I like EPA/DHA. I find it helpful for a stomach condition I have. For awhile i was taking a good amount of EPA/DHA. Now though I only take a little.

The debate over fish oils goes back and forth. I've seen study mentions saying it is good for brain and heart health. And now this saying it is bad for both. Hard to say what is the truth.

Probably the larger cause of vascular health issues is stress and its effects upon the nervous system. I doubt fish oil will do much to help with the nervous system. Not that long ago I read a book by a doctor saying he stopped his patients from experiencing heart attacks by using de-stressing methods and a few supplements that improve the nervous system. Not exactly a study but I found it interesting.
