I love sardines. I also like Carlson’s cod liver oil

This is only true of wild caught salmon. Most salmon is from farmed hatcheries and they do not have the same benefits.
Carlson’s cod liver oil tastes nothing like the cod liver oil my Grandma would give me!
especially if it’s lemon flavored :)
seriously though, what your grandma gave you was probably more effective. I have no idea if Carlson’s is potent

Oh, what an irony!
First time I bought, I meant to buy just regular fish oil.
Took 4 months just to get up the nerve to open it. Pleasant surprise!
yes, agree
DHA bump.

There was a study posted here on FR a few weeks ago that showed that DHA in modern supplements can cause cardiovascular issues as well. Perhaps there’s a balance that should be struck? Most modern fish oil supplements have EPA and DHA in certain concentrations. I’ve not seen one without DHA. YMMV.
Just eat a lot of salmon. (make sure it’s wild caught, and not farm-raised)
Despite living in Florida, I don’t eat enough seafood. It’s expensive compared to chicken. I’ve been taking fish oil supplements for years. I’m sure the real thing is better, but I’ll take what I can get.
While they are lower on the list both still contain mercury. And FWIW, I love to eat fish and shellfish just as much as anyone.

There are supplements that are only EPA but they are expensive. I vaguely recall the study you mention. Seems like it said DHA counteracts the heart health benefits from EPA if there is more DHA than EPA. I need to look at the study again to see if i have that correct.
I recently read something that said when it comes to cardiovascular benefits, DHA tends to cancel out the positive benefits of EPA. Both Omega 3’s.
So I’ve recently switched supplements to one that has a ratio of about 4 to 1 EPA to DHA from 60/40.
