I too am getting very confused and a bit worried given I eat sardines
daily. Below is the link to Peat's article. Out of curiosity, I also
purchased some of his books where he states that fish oil is dangerous
because it supposedly: 1) stimulates a "dangerous oxidation" that
accelerates aging and is correlated with higher cancer rates; 2) is
toxic
to the thyroid gland; and 3) increases cell permeability which he thinks
is
harmful. Thoughts?
I use cod liver oil, which is stocked with DHA and EPA and vitamin A,
and I believe not as oxidative. Just to be sure, I also take selenium.
The benefits for me of using the oil have far outweighed any risk. On
the other end, I avoid polyunsaturated oils, but DO use monosaturated
oils, like olive oil and canola. And margerine is completely out of the
question.
