<p>I recently read this post on Chris Beat Cancer and it has compelled me to stop taking my fancy fish oil from Costco I had been using.</p> <p><a href="http://chrisbeatcancer.com/my-high-fat-diet-and-why-i-dont-take-fish-oil/" rel="nofollow">http://chrisbeatcancer.com/my-high-fat-diet-and-why-i-dont-take-fish-oil/</a></p> <p>I picked up Udo's Choice Oil 3 6 9 blend at Whole Foods the other day and have started mixing 1 tablespoon every other day with things like greek yogurt, chocolate pudding, etc.</p> <p>Have been doing more research about Udo's...seems like a log of vegans and vegetarians are fans...but I think it still seems like a better option than fish oil for us carnivores.</p> <p><a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread16983.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread16983.html</a></p> <p>Than I read this, which makes me think I should still be taking fish oil anyway:</p> <p><a href="http://blog.coachingendurance.com/2011/05/fish-oil-vs-plant-based-omega-3.html" rel="nofollow">http://blog.coachingendurance.com/2011/05/fish-oil-vs-plant-based-omega-3.html</a></p> <p>So confusing. What are your thoughts?</p>

<p>My thoughts are that you are way over thinking this. Personally if you're eating a diet that includes fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, and nuts (which you should be) I see absolutely no need for either fish or flax/EFA oil. </p> <p>Especially if you're eating a high fat diet, why supplement with <em>more</em> fats? Aren'y you getting enough already? I eat a relatively low fat diet, and don't even supplement. I think it's totally unnecessary.</p>

<p>Thank you very much for this article, very interesting. I was wondering this myself. </p> <p>I will be honest with you - I have NO IDEA whether we should take fish oil or not. I hope somebody out there knows the answer.</p> <p>But I want to share my experience with cod liver oil (not fermented). I watched Sally Fallon's presentation and I have decided to buy some cod liver oil. I have tried:</p> <ol> <li>Norwegian cod liver oil</li> <li>Cod liver in a glass jar (not a supplement, actual food).</li> <li>Cod liver oil of unknown origin for babies bought from a pharmacy</li> </ol> <p>All three made me sick. Okay, I was sick to begin with, but they made me worse which means I added them to my "things that make me sick" list.</p> <p>What I do not understand is WHY???</p> <p>Since I am so "sensitive", maybe I can be used as a guinea pig to discover things that are good for us and not so good for us?</p> <p>Not sure. </p> <p>If you trust my extra sensitive body - don't take any. </p> <p>If you want to know what my body is NOT sensitive to is:</p> <p>bone broth from grass-fed bones</p> <p>grass-fed beef and lamb</p> <p>free-range chicken</p> <p>sashimi</p> <p>all vegetables (even not organic).</p> <p>That's pretty much it. </p>
