i hate the fish oil burp.
Funny some people get that. My dad said he tasted it all day after taking it in the morning. I take fish oil 2x a day and never have the fish oil burp
Take fish oil at bed time sleep through the burps. Works good for me
that fish oil study mentions nothing of raising good (hdl) cholesterol which it does. if you don't get enough of it in your diet (who does), a low dose might be beneficial, ask your md. these studies are deceiving and you have to listen carefully. take them with a grain of salt. they tell you what they want you to hear and omit other things. if you have tons of bad cholesterol (LDL), raisng the good (hdl) isn't going to help lower the bad ldl. only diet & meds & weight loss can really lower it. breathing (second hand smoke, dust, pollens, pollution) has been liked to cancer also, I'm not gonna hold my breath. look at the warnings listed on ANY medicine label, most include "death in rare instances". in general low doses of some vitamins is OK and sometimes helpful for "some people". taking mega doses usually just gives you expensive urine.
"But the evidence for that you can get the same benefit from supplemental omega-3 fatty acids — taking a pill, that is — is much weaker. In fact, a large review published last year in the Journal of the American Medical Association found no connection at all between supplemental omega-3 and a lower risk of heart attacks, strokes, or death in general. Other studies have reported similarly negative results. So it appears that fish oil pills may not have any heart benefits.
And now, with this new study, we learn that supplemental fish oil might increase the risk of prostate cancer.
The bottom line: the AHA recommendations about eating fish are probably still good ones. The AHA website says:
“We recommend eating fish (particularly fatty fish) at least two times (two servings) a week. Each serving is 3.5 oz. cooked, or about ¾ cup of flaked fish. Enjoy fish baked or grilled, not fried.”
But popping a fish oil pill is not going to cut it. As we’ve seen before, supplements often fail to show the benefits that a healthy diet offers. So save your money and stop buying those fish oil pills — and fire up the grill and throw on a few salmon fillets for this weekend’s barbecue."
