Balancing the scales ping.
Do mice normally eat fish?
Does this mean that I stop eating fish or mice?
“Do mice normally eat fish?”
No, they use chopsticks.
Well crap.
I don’t eat fish so I take a fish supplement.
Very interesting study.
I didn’t even know mice could get inflammatory-like bowel disease. Learn something new every day.
Next time I see a mouse munching on a trout, I’ll let him know.
Aren’t mice rodents which would make them herbivores?
Bad science all the way around.
That’s because MICE DON’T EAT FISH!!
Chasing the latest health craze every few months will lead to nothing but an early grave.
I have naturally occurring colitis and supplementary fish oil does NOT make it worse.
>> I didn’t even know mice could get inflammatory-like bowel disease
You mean, you’ve never noticed those tiny little colostomy bags hanging on the hooks at your local Walgreen’s?
(nah, me neither...)
Since I’m not a mouse, then I should be safe to take fish oil capsules, right?
I thought it was omega-6 that was the bad oil and omega-3 was good. Bummer.
I think I’m switching to alpha oils.
‘She said people already receiving enough omega-3 fatty acids through their normal diet and foods have no need for added supplementation.
“With fish oil, we don’t yet know how much is appropriate,” said Fenton.’
Uh...
Well, stop giving it to fish!
Don't eat mice that's been in a science lab, because that's really just asking for it!
The capsules do not contain much Omega-3. You need to take many capsules to get much Omega-3.
My daughter has been diagnosed with lupus. We started her on fish oil with concentrated Omega-3 because of the evidence about the anti inflamatory properties of Omega-3. This study gives me pause. She is taking about 1200 mg of omega-3 per day.
That's a tautological statement -- contains no additional information compared to not making the statement. Of course, if you have enough of ANYTHING you don't need supplementation.
