Dr Oz, Omega 3 Scams, Which To Buy? Fish Oil Storage

Where To Buy Omega 3 Pills - DHA Versus EPA

On today's Dr. Oz October 1, 2012 show Dr. Oz was talking about fish oil.. Should you take Omega 3 pills or should you get your Omega 3's from food?  There was a recent Greek study that claimed that Omega 3's don't work.. However, even though their study was flawed it still showed that Omega 3's reduced heart disease risk by 9%.

Where To Buy Fish Oil Omega 3 Supplements?

Dr. Oz said that you should look at the labeling of the Fish Oil supplements.  Look for 600 milligrams of DHA on the label.  He also mentioned that DHA should be seen on the front of the label. 

There Is No RDA For Omega 3's

If your fish oil supplement label advertises a recommended daily value, this is a marketing scam.  It is a scam because the FDA doesn't have a recommended daily allowance for  Omega 3 oils, whether it's DHA or EPA.

Storage of Omega 3 Fish Oil

Dr. Oz had on a guest (Dr. Edwards) who said that fish oils can go bad if they are oxidized.  You should choose a supplement bottle that is dark in color.  Also if you are buying in bulk your fish oil can go bad over time in storage..  To best preserve your Omega 3s is to store it in your refrigerator.


Greek Omega 3 Study : Do Omega 3's Lower Your Risk Of Heart Disease Or Are They A Scam?

Dr. Oz asked this question to Dr. Edwards on his show today..  Dr. Edwards said that "If you could take one pill that would decrease your risk of dying of heart disease, isn't it worth it?"

Who Shouldn't Take Omega 3 Supplements?

If you have fish allergies you should look for another way to get your Omega 3's.  Dr. Edwards also said that if you are taking blood thinners you should speak with your doctor before taking fish oil supplements.
