Jim Thornton's latest article: SIPE and fish oil

I am not sure how many blue marlins Jeremy would need to eat a day to get the equivalent of 9 x 1200 mg capsules, but I daresay he'd weigh a bit more if he consumed his fish oil by eating actual fish as opposed to swallowing lozenges! Wiki has some useful information. en.wikipedia.org/.../Fish_oil "The FDA says it is safe to take up to 3000 mg of omega-3 per day. (This is not the same as 3000 mg of fish oil. A 1000 mg pill typically has only 300 mg of omega-3; 10 such pills would equal 3000 mg of omega-3.) Dyerberg studied healthy Greenland Eskimos and found an average intake of 5700 mg of omega-3 EPA per day." I'm guessing it wouldn't be too hard to get that level of omega 3's if you like salmon. There might be some issue where levels that are OK for most people to take are not OK for ironmen triathletes. Intuitively, I would think the opposite - exercise burns toxins away- but this stuff is very complicated.
