and who ever ate any kind of oil in paleolithic? R. Peat's newsletter
rubbed my nose in that idea.
Peat advocates eating coconut oil.  I get his newsletter too and have read a
few of his books. His problem with fish oil supplementation is the same
problem he has with all polyunsaturated oils -- their structure makes them prone to
rancidity, they lower immune function and thyroid function, and they can make
the cell walls too permeable.  His argument is that although they can ease the
suffering of arthritis and inflammation , there is a significant downside to
them.  Check out Barry Groves' website for more info on the downside of
polyunsatured oils -- especially fish oil.  http://www.second-opinions.co.uk/  I've
posted this stuff several times before -- just do a search in the archives.
