Hi....new here
My husband and I were taking cod liver oil capsules as well as consuming fish, but got concerned about pcb's.
see "are fish oil supplements safe?" at:
http://www.nutrition.cornell.edu/nut...t/fishoil.html
"Consuming vegetable oil instead of fish oil may decrease your exposure to PCB contamination. However, keep in mind that plants contain compounds which can affect adult hormonal status -- and in particular thyroid and sex hormone status -- directly or indirectly, in what appears to be much the same way as PCBs."
So we decided to use flax seed oil, but found that ground flax seeds sprnkled on food is recommended over oil.
see:
http://www.go-symmetry.com/flax-seed.htm
"Flax seed oil is the world's richest source of omega-3 fatty acids at a whopping 57% (over two times the amount of omega-3 fatty acids as fish oils)."
"Dietary essential fatty acids common to flax seed oil are ultimately converted to hormone-like substances known as prostaglandins,"
"The combination of both flax and borage seed oil ....providing nature's best of the omega-3 fatty acids in flax with the best of omega-6 fatty acids in GLA rich borage oil."
All this gives me a headache...
LOL
