Fish oil. Enough already!

Jim Marshall (not a doctor) said ...

I have received a flood of tweets, emails, and clippings, questions at the face-to-a-name meeting, and phone calls about newspaper articles reporting, or mis-reporting a scientific report suggesting that fish oil, or oily fish, may be bad for prostate cancer.

 

I have addressed that with the following postings:

In the meantime, while I am not a doctor, my diet in the future will have plenty of fish (including oily fish like salmon), and if I was on fish oil capsules I would continue until my doctor advised otherwise.
