Re: Question re: Fish Oils

[Guest guest]

My Dr told me today not to have fish more than twice a week because of the

mercury. G

I never taste the fish oil from the capsules. I get mine at Costco but I

understand there is some question regarding Mercury about them too. I heard that

at Mercola site. G

[Guest guest]

Mercola site has a fish oil they claim is mercury free. I have no reason to

doubt it but have not ordered it. If my rapid pulse and faint episode was

mercury poisioning this week, then I may try them. But that is a big IF. But one

of the first things my doctor thought of. Fish everyday and once I had it e

times. G

I don't know if processed fish oil is the same as fish, though. Maybe I'll call

the manufacturer and find out. I'll let you know what they tell me.

OK, this is just second hand information and should be treated as such.

According to my doctor, one derives far more benefit from fish oil than from

flax oil. I didn't ask what those added benefits were or how he knew, but the

next time I see him, I'll be sure to ask those questions. I'd MUCH rather take

flax oil because I detest fish. There is no fish or seafood that I like. None.

So, the fish oil pills are really sickening to me about half an hour after I

take them. Bleehhcchhh!

Re: Question re: Fish Oils

From the information I have flax seed oil is just as rich in the

omega 3 oils and even if it has less so that I had to take more of it

I would still do it. I don't know about the mercury content. Flax

has no mercury and no aftertaste.
