My doctor has recommended taking fish oil, but I keep reading conflicting reports that it doesn't help at all.

Even more damming is this NIH report from 2014. But fish oil is still strongly pushed.


25. Conclusion
Marine/fish oil, in the supraphysiologic, prophylactic amounts often consumed, is harmful, possibly even more harmful than trans fats [3]. If proper physiologic amounts were utilized (<20&#8201;mg EPA/DHA), perhaps their furan acid content would be a significant positive factor; the concern of rampant oxidation is alleviated. Otherwise, given today's high quantities of fish oil recommendation, we see that their furan acid component is rendered ineffective.


https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3914521/

So the main fatty acid that maybe a benefit is Furan fatty acids, but it is overwhelmed by EPA/DHA.

Emotionally I still want to take fish oil, but I think it's just that marketing has influenced me. Scientifically I keep reading that not only does it not help, it can be harmful.

So this leaves me conflicted .

What do the forum posters think about fish oil and have you read the negative reviews of fish oil?

It is a startling thought but fwiw that article has been retracted based on a disclaimer at the top of the page and the word "Retracted" across each page

thanks I missed that retraction, i wonder why they still leave it published.

I see NIH says.
