Didn't know fish oil supplements have Pcb  email this discussion to a friend?

I am watching the news about the dangerous chemicals found in most fish oil supplements. This surrpises me, for I take fish oil everyday. I guess the pcb is from the chemicals that electrical plants have left behind in the ocean. It is scary to think a supplement I take everyday has some sort of dangerous chemical in it. Yet the news did day the health benefits outweight the risks if you are an otherwise healthy person, so that is good. I don't even know exactly what pcb is. I guess I just confused with all the health information out there, for one second, something is good for you, and the next, not so much. Can someone please clarify? There is even a lawsuit about it.

PCB = polychlorinated biphenyls. Used in the plastics industry amongst others. If you look hard enough you will discover that virtually every foodstuff will do you harm. But you have to balance the advantages with the disadvantages. I would think that you are pretty safe with your fish oil supplements the PCB content is at trace levels. Let us know if you turn into the Terminator though. We'll find you a State to govern! LOL.

Isn't that one of the chemicals that is in plastics that they have proven that is not safe for humans to consume from it? I could be wrong about that. However, it seems like almost everything that we consume is dangerous to us in one way or another, so I take all of these warnings that we are hearing these days for a grain of salt. These days, I will listen to these warnings but I have come to accept the fact that I am most likely going to die from cancer, so I don't need to worry about it too much.

Hi dorannmwin! I never thought about it that way, that it is important to take these things with a grain of salt. It just gets a little confusing as to all the health news sometimes, for one sec something is good for you, and the next not so much. It is like who do you believe? No worry though, for I still take my fish oil supplements every morning (and my flax).
