G/F reads article saying just as much mercury in fish oil

[bran987]

I finally have my girlfriend convinced she needs to weight train, so I'm teaching her about diet.

And today she says she read an article saying that fish oil caps have just as much mercury as the 'dangerous' fish.

*SIGH

how would you guys handle this?

You have 3 possibilities:

1] Buy some rope, go out the back, find a tree and hang yourself

2] Change G/F

3] Get a beer in the fridge and forget about it

Maybe she is right that it is dangerous. Or is your point that the mercury is there but that it is not harmful in such low dosages?

the way I understand it that is the concensus we've come to about most fish consumption (not harmful in such low dosage), but we've never discussed it in the context of fish oil supplementation. from everything I've heard it's not dangerous, it is the healthiest thing you can supplement with etc..
I just had no proof and it's frustrating when an article only presents one side of the story. wish I had the dang thing so we could read it.

Just tell her than most fish oils you buy as a supplement/health store are purified and almost free from chemicals you would find in "real" fish
