cause or effect? Those suspecting they have problems are more likely to take the supplement, so it’s not a good study.

I was taking 30 mg of Prevacid which worked very well- had ot take for bleeding ulcers which dern near done me in- anyway- insurance quit paying and demanded i be given omeprazol instead- they put me on 20 mg. long story short- just got out of hospital recently for duodenal ulcer that had me doubled over in pain for almost 2 weeks- couldn’t stand it anymore- and went in- they put me on 40 mg, 1 pill twice a day mornin night- so far it ‘seems to be’ working, but we’ll see-

Under doctors direction I’ve been taking omega 3 for 4 years. No cognitive decline noted. It has stuned my beeber however

[TheThirdRuffian]

Yeah, I don’t buy this.

It’s an observational study, for one. Sample bias strikes me as an obvious issue.

Second, what is the composition of the omega3? If not DHA heavy, I have doubts.

Fish fat has a disgusting smell. That’s all you need to know to realize you should avoid it.

Fish liver oil was the only source of vitamin d in some places. That might have confused some and let them to believe that the fat was good.

I also take a load of supplements but I’m not kidding myself that any of it will make me healthier or make me live longer.

Foods have enough retinol. If you take it from supplements, it accumulates and causes problems, for example, bone problems.

the best I can do is smoked salmon in cream cheese on bagel chips.
