As someone who takes fish oil this is quite sobering. Maybe I'll stop.


This is the state of nutrition science. National health authorities claiming to know more than they do while being lobbied left right and centre by industry. Industry funded studies followed by hubris in researchers slow to revise old ideas.

That is how you end up entirely convinced that fish oil can only be good for you when the truth is a lot more murky.


How about flaxseed oil? Is it a good idea or is it likely to have the same problems?
