And there was no question around whether they took the C shot….

I see A-Fib all day long. In a majority of patients going into AF, the left atrium is enlarged. Most often from hypertension. Most hypertension arises from metabolic syndrome and obesity. I suspect a large number of these patients were primed for AF by poor lifestyle.

[JimWooddell]

Don't forget... Many fish oil supplements are full of soy bean or canola oil. Check the ingredients!!!!

[mbennett]

Once they abused the absolute/ relative risk %, I mentally threw out that garbage media report!!!!

[KenJackson_US]

I'm pleased to have learned two things: the alarmist headlines were wrong (I had been considering stopping fish oil), and the new triglyceride form is best.

[KatieZeldin]

Since 2021 pretty much everything "causes heart disease". Except for the elephant in the room.

[MyLivingJournal]

I am a senior who is not a doctor. Can you just sum it up in 1 or 2 sentences for a simple minded person who does not understand all of this talk. So should we take it or not take it?

I think we are supposed to be taking wild Norwegian cod liver oil a daily basis, just like Depression babies were given in their childhood. Although I already have my daily dose of 5000 IU of vitamin D derived from cod liver oil, since I quit a lesser quality Omega 3 supplement, I am seriously considering adding a daily teaspoon of Carlson brand wild Norwegian cod liver oil, without approaching anything even close to a toxic dose of fish liver oil. It will be an experiment. I have no family history of heart disease, and my mother is quite healthy at age 94.

The first thing I do to validate a study is look at who was involved in the funding. Anything that comes from the welcome trust or the NIH goes directly in the trash.

[TOSStarTrek]

They called it cherry picking back in the day.

[pamkessler]

I find IF i keep the fish oil in the refrigerator, it doesn't burp up! My mom used to keep it in the freezer - but I think that isn't necessary, but if it works for you - do it!

[JimWooddell]

Keep your fish oil in the frig too!! ;)

[tinamartin]

BS. Many flaws. Thanks for your diligent work doc!

[dandrew]

I have taken it for 3 months. 58yo and fatty liver borderline type 2 for 20 yrs. Clears foggy brain in a week. However greatest benefit and it is huge. I sleep through the night I don't move. I ran out within 2 weeks was back to up 1-4AM and feeling like crap.

I would like to share that I started taking your D3-k2 and my blood work revealed that my D3 went from 60 to 100!

[powerpawsmary]

Great analysis! That will help people in our support group. I’m sure that question will come up. ❤

[mballer]

I would like to see a study of self reported fish oil intake and comparing it to objective Omega 3 blood level tests.

[gillesthibodeau]

Why use those supplements? Eat fish ( salmon, sardines, mackerel, herring etc..) twice a week + avocado + flax seeds, olive oil. Bio products. Pure cod liver oil. There's no problem in eating real good food. Who knows what is really contained in those supplements?...

[Wade]

There’s a big difference between correlation and causality, similar to LDL and CVD. Unless the person kept a daily diet journal, the likelihood of reliability in reporting is very low. How many of these people ate carbs, starches, grains, and seed oils? A big issue is listening to mainstream media.
