I doubt every fish-oil-taker in the sample was taking 9 capsules per day.
But the story only gives the one example of the 1 individual who took 9 capsules a day--over 4 times the recommended dosage.
While I've been taking fish oil capsules for years, I only ever take 1 per day. Heck even during peak marathon training I never take more vitamins.
It would be interesting to know more about this sample group and how many capsules they actually took.
As I indicated above, I should be at risk to develop this; I fit the bill nearly every step of the way, including past history of hypertension, and a family history of cardiac problems. Yet I've never had anything remotely close.
I read a similar story somewhere else recently that pointed to wetsuits as the culprit.
